FAQs

1. What specific Britax stroller models have been recalled?

Recalled models include Britax B-Agile and BOB Motion strollers when used with a car seat carrier travel system. The recall specifically targets folding, single or double occupant strollers with Click & Go receiver mounts that attach car seats to stroller frames. Model numbers can be found on the bottom of the stroller frame.

2. How do I know if my Britax product is affected by a recall?

Check the model number on the bottom of your Britax stroller frame and compare it to the recalled models. You can also visit the CPSC website or contact Britax customer service directly with your product’s model number and manufacture date.

3. What should I do if I own a recalled Britax stroller?

Britax advises consumers to stop using recalled strollers as travel systems immediately. For the 2017 recall, the company recommended disposing of the Click & Go receiver and requesting a free repair kit rather than returning the stroller.

4. How serious are the injuries reported from defective Britax strollers?

Reported injuries include scratches, bruises, cuts, and bumps to the head. While most documented injuries have been minor to moderate, the potential for more serious injuries exists, particularly with falling car seats or detaching wheels.

5. Can I still file a lawsuit if the recall was issued years ago?

Possibly. While recalls have time limitations for obtaining repairs or replacements, product liability lawsuits follow the statute of limitations in your state. In many states, the time limit for minors doesn’t begin until they reach adulthood.
