Event Hightlights
Event Update: Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission report of recalls involving B.O.B.® single and double strollers. The stroller's drawstring can get wrapped around a child's neck, posing a strangulation hazard. In addition, it is possible for a child to remove the embroidery backing of the embroidered logo on the stroller canopy and put this material into their mouth, posing a potential choking hazard.
