CPSC Sues Britax Over Baby Stroller Defect
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has sued Britax Child Safety, Inc., alleging that certain models of the company's jogging strollers contain a defect that causes wheels to detach. The CPSC says that the defect has caused injuries to children including a concussion, injuries to the head and face requiring stitches, dental injuries, contusions and abrasions; and adult injuries including a torn labrum, fractured bones and torn ligaments, contusions and abrasions. CPSC says that Britax declined to recall or repair the strollers. [2/23/18]
