Pacific Cycle has recalled approximately 217,600 Instep and Schwinn swivel wheel jogging strollers because the front wheel can become loose and detach. The firm has received 132 reports of the front wheel becoming unstable, resulting in 215 injuries including head injuries, lacerations, and sprains. These single and double occupant strollers were sold in various colors at Amazon.com, Target, Walmart, and other retailers between January 2010 and June 2016 for between $130 and $350. Consumers should stop using the strollers and contact Pacific Cycle for a free repair kit that replaces the quick-release mechanism with a secure screw-on attachment.
The front wheel's quick-release mechanism can fail to stay secure, causing the wheel to wobble or detach entirely while in motion. This can cause the stroller to suddenly tip or crash, throwing children and caregivers to the ground and resulting in serious injuries such as head trauma and deep cuts.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jogging strollers and contact Pacific Cycle to obtain a repair kit to secure the front wheel. The repair kit includes a replacement mechanism for securing the front wheel that uses a traditional screw on/off method of attachment instead of the quick release lever method of attachment shipped with the product, as well as new warning labels. Consumers should not return the jogging strollers to retailers where purchased. A repair video is available at www.pacific-cycle.com/safety-notices-recalls/.
