Britax recalls B-Nimble strollers made August 2010+ due to brake failure risk. False brake engagement can cause unexpected movement and injury to children.
An audible click heard when the brake pedal is pressed can give a false impression that the brake is fully engaged when it is not. When the brake is not engaged, the stroller can move unexpectedly posing a risk of injury to the child occupant.
Britax is recalling B-Nimble strollers made on or after August 1, 2010 because a brake issue can cause the stroller to move unexpectedly when the brake isn't properly engaged, risking child injury. Affected strollers have model numbers U311771, U311773, U311775, or U311780 and were sold in various colors.
The brake system gives a false click sound when pressed, making it seem engaged when it's not. This can cause the stroller to move unexpectedly, potentially injuring the child.
Parents or caregivers who own B-Nimble strollers made August 2010 or later are most at risk. Children using these strollers could be injured if the brake isn't fully engaged.
Check the lower frame/tube on either side for model numbers: U311771, U311773, U311775, or U311780. Strollers were sold in black, silver, Cowmooflage, green, or red colors.
Immediately stop using the recalled stroller and contact Britax for a replacement.
If using the stroller while waiting for a replacement, always make sure the brake is fully engaged before moving.
Consumers should immediately stop using their strollers and contact Britax for information and to request an improved replacement stroller. Consumers who resume use of their strollers while awaiting the replacement should always ensure that the brake is fully engaged.
