The reason for the recall according to the company is that the inner tube of the tire on the stroller can rupture causing the wheel rim to fracture, posing a risk of bodily injury and property damage.
The three-wheeled strollers being recalled were sold in different color fabric combinations with a metal black and silver frame including: green seat and canopy, a gray seat and canopy with a teal blue stripe across the center of the canopy, an orange seat and canopy with a tan stripe, tan seat and canopy with yellow stripe across the center top of the canopy, and tan seat and canopy with an orange canopy rim.
“Jeep” is printed on the side of the stroller and on the front of the stroller tray. There is a plastic red toy steering wheel, ignition key and orange shift lever mounted on a yellow base attached to the stroller tray.
If your stroller wheels have a gray triangle located on the rim at the valve stem then your stroller wheels are not included in this recall, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The strollers were sold at: Burlington Coat Factory, Sears and Toys R Us nationwide, online and at other mass market and independent juvenile specialty stores from June 2010 through June 2013 for between $150 and $180.
If you have one of these models, you should immediately stop using the product and contact the company to receive free replacement wheels. The recall warning adds that consumers should use a manual bicycle pump to inflate stroller tires to a maximum of 30 p.s.i. Do not use gas station air pumps to inflate stroller tires.
