Recall Notice

Date

June 23, 2011

Product Name

Britax B-Nimble Umbrella Stroller

Joint Recall with Health Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC), and Britax Child Safety Inc.

Full Product Description

Britax B-Nimble stroller is a single seat umbrella stroller and has the following product codes:

• U311771 (red)
• U311773 (green)
• U311775 (cowmooflage)
• U311780 (silver-black).

The name "Britax" can be found on the front. On the stroller frame, near the storage basket, there should be a white label on each side of the stroller with the stroller model numbers, batch numbers and date of manufacture.

Hazard Identified

The strollers brake may produce an audible click when initially engaged and the brake pedal may remain depressed even though the brake has not fully engaged or locked. It may be necessary to continue to depress the brake pedal beyond the moment of the audible click to achieve full brake function. The initial click may create the false impression with the consumer that the brake is engaged.

Neither Britax, the US CPSC nor Health Canada has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of the brake function of the B-Nimble stroller.

Corrective Action

Consumers should immediately contact Britax to receive a free replacement stroller. Until the new replacement stroller is received, Britax recommends the continued use of the stroller but advises consumers to verify that the pedal is completely depressed and confirm that the brake is fully engaged, regardless of the audible click, every time the brake system is used.

For more information, consumers may contact Britax Customer Service at 1-800-683-2045.

Consumers who have not registered their product or need to verify existing registration should contact the Britax information line, toll free at 1-888-427-4829 or visit http://www.britax.com.
