Tike Tech Recalls Jogging Strollers

Washington, DCTike Tech Ltd is recalling about 800 Tike Tech Single City X3 and X3 Sport Jogging Strollers because the opening between the grab bar and seat bottom of the stroller can allow an infant's body to pass through and become entrapped at the neck by the grab bar, posing a strangulation hazard to young children when a child is not harnessed. When using a stroller, parents and caregivers are encouraged to always secure children by using the safety harness and never to leave them unattended.

The recall involves the grab bar on Tike Tech Single City X3 and X3 Sport strollers. "Tike Tech" is printed on the footrest and on the back of the stroller on the left and right sides. The grab bar is optional and can be removed from the stroller. The ID codes are located on the interior left side frame. For a complete list of affected products see the link below.

The strollers were sold at juvenile product stores nationwide and websites including www.amazon.com from October 2009 through February 2010 for about $300.
