Stokke recalled about 2,890 YOYO3 strollers in the United States. This was a voluntary recall. Stokke started it in October 2024. CPSC then announced it on November 14, 2024.
The recall covers strollers in a certain serial range. Look for the label under the seat. It shows the serial number. The parking brake on these units can release on its own. This can let the stroller move without warning.
Owners should stop using the affected stroller and check its serial number. They should register online at recall.stokke.com/yoyo3 for a full refund. The recall remains open, and the refund portal is accepting registrations.

Latest Stokke YOYO3 Stroller Recall Updates
November 14, 2024: CPSC Announces the Stokke YOYO3 Recall
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted a notice about Stokke‘s YOYO3 strollers [1]. It listed about 2,890 units in the US. The notice named a parking-brake defect. The brake could let a stroller move without warning.
Stokke had already started its own recall in October 2024. CPSC’s November notice, Recall Number 25-044, restated that recall for more shoppers to see.
Which Stokke YOYO3 Strollers Are Affected?
The recall covers Stokke YOYO3 strollers with specific serial numbers. Check the tag under the seat to find yours:
- Serial numbers starting with “142AA” followed by a number below “0062239”
- Compact four-wheel foldable strollers designed for children about 0 to 48 months old
- Frame in black or black-and-white
- Seat and canopy in black, Bonpoint beige, stone, olive, taupe, toffee, ginger, Air France blue, or aqua
- The serial number label is located under the stroller seat
The affected strollers were sold in the United States and Canada. Each one carries the same serial range in both countries.
If your stroller falls in this range, treat it as affected. This is true even if you bought it from another store.
Why Were the Stokke YOYO3 Strollers Recalled?
Stokke YOYO3 strollers were recalled because of a potential parking-brake defect that Stokke’s holding statement describes as an unintentional release of the brake during use, which can let the stroller roll away and pose an injury hazard [2].
Stokke says it found the problem through its own ongoing product testing, which the company says continually checks safety performance across its stroller lines, and it then chose to recall the strollers out of caution.
The defect is limited to YOYO3 strollers bearing the recalled serial range, and Stokke says its own testing found no comparable issue in earlier YOYO stroller models, so the recall does not extend to those units.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
No injuries have been reported for this recall in the United States, according to CPSC’s notice, which Stokke filed as part of its recall submission to the agency.
Health Canada‘s parallel notice found the same thing. No incidents or injuries had reached the company in Canada as of November 7, 2024 [3].
A zero count does not prove the parking brake caused an injury. Any later reports would appear in a future update.

What Should Consumers Do?
Owners of an affected Stokke YOYO3 stroller who want to request a refund should take the following steps right away:
- Stop using the stroller immediately and keep it out of service until you confirm its status.
- Check your stroller’s serial number, on the label under the seat, against the recalled range described above.
- Go to Stokke’s recall portal at recall.stokke.com/yoyo3 to register the stroller and request a full refund by check [4].
- Contact Stokke toll-free at 877-978-6553, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, or by email at info-usa@stokke.com, or call the CPSC’s Consumer Hotline at 800-638-2772 with questions.
- Do not resell, donate, or give away the recalled stroller, since it remains part of an open recall until it is refunded.
Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions
Health Canada issued its recall notice. It covers the same parking-brake defect. About 35 YOYO3 strollers were sold in Canada. They were sold from August 2024 through October 2024. The units share the same serial range as the US recall.
Both notices describe the same defect and the same fix. Canadian owners can use the same online tool. They can check their stroller and ask for a refund.
