The strollers were sold in a variety of colors including black and silver, Cowmooflage (black and white), green and red. They were sold between September 2010 and June 2011 for about $200.
Authorities say a click can heard when the brake pedal is pressed, but the brake will not fully engage. When the brake is not engaged, the stroller can move unexpectedly posing a risk of injury to the child occupant.
There have been 7 reports of the brake not being fully engaged, but nobody has been hurt.
