Health Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) and Kolcraft Enterprises Inc. have jointly recalled Jeep Liberty strollers manufactured between June 2010 and September 2011 with the following model numbers:
While Health Canada received one report that did not result in injuries, Kolcraft and the CPSC have received 39 reports of the inner tube ruptures leading to 18 incidents involving bodily lacerations, most of which occurred while caregivers were filling the tires with air. Two children suffered lacerations to their chin/leg while standing near the stroller. Two further reports included damage to property.
Customers are advised to stop using the stroller until they receive a replacement repair kit from Kolcraft comprising three replacement wheels. Tires should then be manually inflated, to a maximum of 30 p.s.i., using a bicycle pump.
