Costway has recalled baby strollers due to violation of the federal stroller and carriage safety standard. and fall, entrapment and strangulation hazards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recalled strollers violate the Federal Standard for Carriages and Strollers. A child’s torso can pass through the opening between the activity tray and the seat bottom and his/her head can become entrapped, posing entrapment and strangulation hazards. The location of the crotch restraint creates a large opening between the seat bottom and the restraint, posing a fall hazard to children.
This recall involves three models of double strollers. A tag on the stroller seat reads:
MADE FOR GOPLUS CORP 11250 POPLAR AVE. FONTANA, CA 92337.
