The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation Bugaboo International, today announced a voluntary recall of about 50,740 Bugaboo Cameleon and Bugaboo Donkey Strollers because a button on the stroller’s carrycot/seat carry handle can become disengaged and cause the handle to detach, posing fall and choking hazards to young children.

Bugaboo has received 58 reports of carry handles detaching. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves the carry handles on Bugaboo Cameleon and Bugaboo Donkey model strollers with detachable carrycots/seats. The strollers were sold with a base, sun canopy and other accessories in various colors. A fabric tag on the side of the sun canopy has Bugaboo and the model name.
