BUGABOO Australia (and now America) announce official recall of Bugaboo Bee+ wheels….

Which leads us here in the USA to wonder “Why not HERE?!?!?!?!” They have all come from the same factories, they all have the same issue, and its a little irritating to see this quote:

“The front wheels may suddenly lock up whilst the stroller is in motion, causing the stroller to topple. This can result in fall-related bruising and lacerations to the stroller occupant.”

while Bugaboo USA is still assuring us that its totally safe and poses no risks at all.

Bugaboo fail.

If you are in Australia, please follow the directions above to get your Bee+ wheels replaced.

UPDATED OCTOBER 5th, 2011: Bugaboo have updated their website with the following information, including updated information about the safety issues. I am very happy to learn that Bugaboo USA seems to be taking this seriously.
