Kelty's Jogging Strollers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Kelty, of Boulder, Colo., a division of American Recreation Products have recalled about 3,000 Kelty Single and Double Jogging Strollers.
The front wheel can come loose during use and cause the stroller to tip over, posing a fall and injury hazard to children in the stroller and adults pushing the stroller. There have been three reported incidents with these recalled strollers, including cuts, scrapes and fractured bones to adults, and minor cuts and scrapes to children.
