Bumbleride Inc. recently issued a voluntary recall of its Indie & Indie Twin strollers. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the strollers' front wheel can break causing the stroller to tip and thus poses a fall hazard. There have been 36 reported incidents of the front wheel cracking. Two of these reports included minor injuries from the stroller tipping over as a result of the defect.
Companies such as Bumbleride should take product safety and the protection of its customers and consumers very seriously. A company's duty to the public requires it to take immediate action upon being informed of a potential defect with its product. To properly carry out this duty, a company should have systems in place, which allow it to trace and account for all potentially affected products and then quarantine or destroy any remaining inventory.
