Bugaboo Bee stroller recall

Bugaboo has recalled 22,500 of its Bugaboo Bee strollers because brakes on one or both sides can fail, causing the stroller to unexpectedly roll away on an incline. The company has received 121 reports of the stroller’s brakes failing but no injuries have been reported, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Bugaboo reports that in 116 cases the brakes failed on one side and in five cases the brakes failed on both sides.

The strollers have the item code 580210 on a label on the back of the seat and item code 50100 on a label on the plastic support under the seat. The strollers were featured in blue, dark khaki, pink, red, yellow, and black. “bugaboo® bee” is printed on the left side of the seat. They were sold at juvenile product retailers nationwide and online from August 2007 through April 2009 for $530. The Bugaboo Bee was in our most recent report on strollers.

I have not received the parts from Bugaboo nor can I get in touch with them via the 1-800 number. I bought the Bee in the USA and now I am leaving abroad. Does anyone know how can I get the part that is being recalled? There are no distributors here.

Thank you
