Thousands of strollers sold in Canadian stores have been recalled due to concerns about loose parts that could potentially cause crashes.
Health Canada said it recalled Dorel Juvenile Canada single and double occupant swivel wheel jogging strollers that have a quick release mechanism for removing and re-attaching the front wheel.
Instep, Instep Safari, Schwinn Grand Safari strollers with the following model numbers are affected:
Instep Safari TT Double Stroller 01AR266CRED

The model number is found on the back of the stroller seat.
About 12,360 of these strollers were sold in stores across Canada between January 2010 and April 2016.
Health Canada said if not installed properly, the front wheel of these models can become loose and detach causing potential crash and fall hazards.
