According to an article from the Associated Press,
children younger than a year old are more at risk at being injured from the
strollers when they are not harnessed in. Children can pass through the opening
between the tray and the seat bottom and the child’s neck and head can become
trapped if they are unharnessed.
The company reported that a seven-month-old girl was
nearly strangled in 2006 and a six-month-old boy died of strangulation in a
stroller in 2004.
Peg Perego USA Inc. is recalling about 223,000 strollers
made between January 2004 and September 2007. The models include Pliko-P3 and
Venezia strollers.
The model number on the Venezia model is located on the
footboard while the number for the Pliko-P3 stroller is located on a white
label on the back.
Those who have purchased the strollers are advised to
stop using them and contact Peg Perego for a free repair kit at (888) 734-6020.
Also, Kolcraft Enterprises Inc. is recalling some strollers due to the risk of potential
choking and falling hazards.
The Contours Options LT double strollers with a model
number of ZT012 are being recalled. The 5,600 strollers were sold between
February and July.
Although no injuries have yet to be reported, it has been
shown that the front wheel assembly can break, which can lead to a child
falling out of the stroller. On the strollers that were made between January
and February, the nuts that hold the stroller’s basket support screws in place can
detach and become a potential choking hazard.
The model number can be found on a label on the stroller’s
rear leg. Consumers should stop using the strollers and contact Kolcraft for
free replacement wheels at (800) 453-7673.
