Bugaboo North America has recalled 22,500 of their “Bugaboo Bee” strollers. There have been over 120 reports of brakes failing. While no injuries have been reported, brake failure can lead to runaway strollers if left on an incline, which can lead to injuries.
To know if your stroller is at risk look at the back of the seat for item number 580210 and under the plastic support of the seat for item number 50100. The strollers were sold in blue, dark khaki, pink, red, yellow, and black. “bugaboo® bee” is printed on the left side of the seat.
If your stroller matches the description you should stop using it immediately and contact Bugaboo to receive a free repair kit. To order the bracket kit, go to www.bugaboo.com and fill in the special order form or contact Bugaboo customer service.
You can reach Bugaboo at (800) 460-2922 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or send an email to bugaboobee-service@bugaboo.com
