The recalled Blink strollers have the following model numbers: U261813, U261814, U261815, U261816, U261817, U271813, U271817 AND U271815. They were made between May and September 2009.

The model number and date of manufacture can be found on a white label on the stroller frame, near the bottom of the stroller basket.

The Strollers Were Sold At: Buy Buy Baby, Amazon.com, BabiesRus.com, Target.com and Diapers.com from July 2009 through February 2010 for about $150 retail.
