Valco Baby Products USA LLC has recalled some of it’s Tri Mode Single and Twin Jogging Strollers. Consumers should stop using the recalled products immediately. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product. The strollers are being recalled because 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. Go here for a description of the recalled models. The recalled strollers were sold in juvenile product stores and websites, including Amazon.com, between November 2007 and March 2010 for between $480 and $700.
Consumers should immediately remove the grab bar from the stroller and contact Valco Baby to receive a free replacement grab bar. For additional information, contact Valco Baby by email or by phone at 800-610-7850 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, or visit the firms website.
