Product Recall
Sycamore Kids Inc. expands recall of Mountain Buggy Jogging Strollers
April 25, 2006

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Sycamore Kids Inc., has announced a recall of certain Sycamore Mountain Buggy Urban (Single and Urban Double) Breeze Strollers. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

NOTE: This recall is an expansion of Sycamore Kids Inc. jogging strollers recalls announced in 2005 and involves units previously repaired under earlier recall announcements.

The handlebar can crack or break causing the handlebar to detach while in use, posing a risk of injury to young children.

Sycamore Kids has received 49 reports of the handlebars either cracking or breaking when the stroller was pulled up or taken down stairs. This resulted in five reports of bruises and scrapes.

Manufactured in New Zealand, the recalled strollers have a metal frame and a cloth seat with a sun canopy. The strollers were sold in a variety of colours including: midnight blue, navy, red, black, silver and orange.

A metal plate above the footrest shows the Mountain Buggy logo with "Mountain Buggy," and "Urban," or "Breeze" written underneath on the metal plate. The recalled Mountain Buggy Urban Single strollers have item number U1204-002, and serial numbers between 000000 and 015276. The recalled Mountain Buggy Urban Double strollers have item number U2204-002, and serial numbers between 000000 and 009221.

The recalled Mountain Buggy Breeze strollers have item number B1204-001, and serial numbers between 000000 and 000191. The serial number and model number are on the back of the metal plate.

The strollers were sold at juvenile furniture retailers, baby product stores and via web retailers from December 2004 through September 2005.
