CPSC: Bumbleride Indie Strollers Recalled for Fall Hazards; Injuries Reported
02/06/2012 // WPB, FL, USA // Injury Lawyers News // Nicole HowleySan Diego, CA — Bumbleride Indie & Indie Twin Strollers are being voluntarily recall ed by Bumbleride Inc., Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for fall hazards the product poses to consumers. The CPSC announced the nationwide product recall on February 3, 2012.
The recall was issued after discovering that the front wheel can break at the axle hub, which can cause the stroller to tip over and pose a fall hazard to young children.
Bumbleride has received two reports, among the 36 incidents, in which a stroller tipped over and resulted in minor injuries.
“The recalled Bumbleride Indie strollers are model numbers I-107, I-110 and I-205 with a DOM (Date of Manufacture) from January 2009 through August 2011 sold in multiple colors. The DOM (Date of Manufacture) can be found on a white rectangular sticker affixed to the side of the seat frame. The recalled Bumbleride Indie Twin strollers are model numbers IT-108, IT-111, and IT-305 with a DOM (Date of Manufacture) from January 2009 through August 2011 sold in multiple colors. The DOM (Date of Manufacture) can be found on a white rectangular sticker affixed to the underside of the handle,” reported the CPSC.

“The fact that the Terex AC 350/6 (pictured below) is the most powerful crane in its class made it ideal for our purposes. The unit’s maximum hook height and the corresponding lifting capacity on the main boom and the strong fixed jib were—quite literally—powerful arguments when it came to making a decision,” explains foreman Herbert Wieseckl , who works at the Max Bögl Group’s Heavy Equipment for Building Construction department.
The first of the two cranes was handed over at the Terex Zweibrücken location in November 2011. Sales representative Philipp Maurer handed over the AC 350/6, with the configuration requested by the customer (a 51 meter long main boom and a strong fixed jib), to crane operator Klaus Schmidt from Max Bögl GmbH. A few days later, Schmidt received the second crane, featuring the exact same configuration, and took it back to Nuemarkt.
