Overview
- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall on June 12 after identifying loose leg screws that could detach and cause falls.
- About 18,280 units sold in the United States and 2,325 in Canada are covered by the recall.
- Bugaboo has logged 22 reports of leg detachments, including 13 minor injuries and several serious incidents such as hematoma and temporary loss of consciousness.
- The company’s free repair kit features redesigned screws, an improved Allen key, and step-by-step instructions, and new chairs sold after May 1 include the kit at no extra charge.
- Consumer Reports and other advocates are calling on Bugaboo to provide full refunds to customers who no longer trust the repaired chairs.
