Wheel Detachment

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in
cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary
recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using
recalled products and unplug the unit immediately unless otherwise
instructed.

Name of Product: Xplory(r) Baby Strollers

Units: About 2,000

Distributor: Stokke LLC, of Kennesaw, Ga.

Hazard: A bolt that attaches each front wheel to the stroller can
loosen, causing one of the front wheels to fall off, posing a fall
hazard to young children.

Incidents/Injuries: The firm has received 14 reports of one of the front
wheels falling off, including one incident where a child received a
scratch when she toppled out of the stroller. In addition, there were
244 reports outside of the United States of one of the front wheels
falling off.

Description: Only Xplory(r) baby strollers with serial numbers between 1
and 28,097 and with grey handles are included in the recall. The serial
number is located under the foot plate. Strollers with white handles are
not included in this recall.

Manufactured in: The recalled front wheels were manufactured in China
and the strollers were made in Norway.

Sold through: Stokke distributors, Web site and juvenile product
retailers nationwide from September 2003 through December 2006 for about
$770.

and contact Stokke to arrange for a free replacement of the front
wheels. Stokke will contact all known purchasers by e-mail or regular
mail. Stokke notified its retailers and posted a recall notice on its
Web site in May 2007.

Note: Some consumers have already received a repair to their stroller or
are in the process of receiving replacement wheels. These consumers do
not need to contact Stokke again.
