About 438,700 single and double jogging strollers have been recalled due to choking hazards.
Recall Reason
Many styles of the jogging stroller are included in this recall. Image here represents just one.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with B.O.B. Trailers Inc., of Boise, Idaho, have recalled about 438,700 (411,700 in the United States and 27,000 in Canada) B.O.B.® single and double strollers. The stroller canopy's embroidered logo's backing patch can detach, posing a choking hazard to babies and young children.

In each of the reported incidents, the children were seated in an infant car seat attached to the stroller.
