A recall notice was issued on June 23, 2011, by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Health Canada, and Britax Child Safety Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina, recalling 20,000 B-Nimble strollers in the United States and approximately 8,000 strollers in Canada, manufactured by Britax Child Safety, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina. 

The reason for this particular recall is possible brake failure of the stroller, which could endanger a child occupant.  "An audible click heard when the brake pedal is depressed could give a false impression that the brake is fully engaged, when it is not. When the brake is not engaged, the stroller can move unexpectedly posing the risk of injury to the child occupant." http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml11/11256.html

The stroller was manufactured in China and imported to the U.S. by Britax Child Safety.  The stroller was sold at retail stores nationwide for approximately $200 from September 2010 to June 2011.   These strollers were manufactured on or after August 1, 2010, and possessed model numbers: U311771, U311773, U311775 and U311780.

Consumers are advised to stop using these strollers immediately. Consumers may contact Britax for more information and to receive an improved replacement stroller by calling Britax toll-free at (888) 427-4829 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and, or visiting the firm's website at www.britaxusa.com
