Weekly Recall Update: City Mini Strollers and Quicksilver Hoodies for Girls
The more I look at recalls the more I realize we moms have to stay on top of so much information! Here’s a few recalls that caught my eye this week:
The first recall involves Baby Jogger City Mini single and double strollers. Look for “City Mini” printed on the stroller. The item numbers and date codes included in this recall are listed in the chart below along with stroller colors. To find the item number, search for a sticker on the rear wheel crossbar.
The manufacturing date code is engraved on the frame behind the rear wheel axle crossbar or on the back of the frame on the upright bar between the right rear wheel and the seat. All models were manufactured between Nov.1, 2007 through Feb. 28, 2009.

67102 Blue/Gray
67103 Red/Black
67104 Gray/Green
67105 Stone/Black

67170 Black
67172 Blue/Gray
67173 Red/Black

These were sold nationwide at department stores and other kids stores and on various Web sites including Amazon from November 2007 through July 2009 for between $220 and $400.
If you have one, you should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact Baby Jogger to receive a free replacement restraint buckle and installation instructions. For additional information, contact Baby Jogger at 877-506-2213 between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET, email the firm at recall@babyjogger.com, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.babyjogger.com
Roxy Girl “Very Nice” Cotton Hoodies distributed by Quiksilver, Inc., of Huntington Beach, Calif. have been recalled.
With these hoodies there is a waist drawstring that could pose an entrapment hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets or sweatshirts.
The hoodie, which zips in front and has a drawstring at the waist, came in gray with blue lining and cherry with lavender lining. They were sold in girls’ sizes SML-XL. ROXY is printed on the front of the gray hoodie and on the neck label on both colors. The style number, B487857, is printed on the inside care label near the waist.
These were sold at Nordstrom, Macy’s, Quiksilver Stores and various surf, sport, and other retailers nationwide from April 2009 through August 2009 for approximately $40.
You should immediately remove the drawstrings from the hoodies to eliminate the hazard or return it to the place of purchase or to Quiksilver for a full refund. For additional information contact Quiksilver, Inc. toll-free at (877) 246-7257 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s website at www.quiksilverinc.com.
I will continue to post relevant recalls as I find them.
