Regal Lager Inc. is recalling about 14,000 "Phil & Teds" double strollers. Children can touch the rear tires when in the stroller's add-on seat. This can pose an abrasion hazard to children.
Regal Lager has received one report of a child who scraped his arm from touching the tire in motion.
This recall involves the e3 Buggy which is a three-wheeled stroller with a black steel tubing frame. It is sold in a variety of fabric colors. An additional seat, known as a "Doubles Kit," can be added directly behind the main stroller?s seat allowing a second child to ride in the stroller. This seat can either be added on top of the stroller's frame or attached on top of the rear axle in the lower position. When used in the lower position, a seated child can reach the wheels.
The strollers were sold by baby furniture and baby products stores nationwide and by Internet retailers from July 2005 through November 2006 for about $380.
Consumers should immediately stop using the additional rear seat in the lower position on top of the rear axle and contact Regal Lager for free additional rear wheel guards.
Customer Contact: For more information, contact Regal Lager at (800) 593-5522 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.regallager.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
