RECALL: Peg Perego Strollers & Kolcraft Contours Strollers

July 25th, 2012

Peg Perego Recalls Strollers Due to Risk of Entrapment and Strangulation; One Child Death Reported. Entrapment and strangulation can occur, especially to infants younger than 12 months of age, when a child is not harnessed. An infant can pass through the opening between the stroller tray and seat bottom, but his/her head and neck can become entrapped by the tray. Infants who become entrapped at the neck are at risk of strangulation. The Pliko P-3 and Venezia are being recalled, this recall is for strollers with one cup holder. Strollers with 2 cup holders or with a front bumper are not part of the recall.

Kolcraft Recalls Contours Tandem Strollers Due to Fall and Choking Hazards. The front wheel assembly can break, posing a fall hazard to the child in the stroller. In addition, for strollers manufactured in January and February 2012, the nuts that hold the stroller’s basket support screws in place can detach. Detached nuts can pose a choking hazard to young children.
