Valco Baby Recalls Jogging Strollers Due to Strangulation HazardRecall date:October 6, 2010 |
| The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Unique Baby Products USA LLC, of Brooklyn, N.Y., have recalled about 12,000 strollers. The opening between the grab bar and seat bottom of the stroller can allow an infant’s body to pass through and become entrapped at the neck by the grab bar, posing a strangulation hazard to young children when a child is not harnessed. When using a stroller, parents and caregivers are encouraged always to secure children by using the safety harness and never to leave them unattended. No incidents or injuries have been reported. |
