RECALL: Strollers for Possible Strangulation or Death
One child had died from strangulation after getting their head trapped between the seat and child's tray in these strollers.
Peg Perego is recalling approximately 223,000 strollers due to the risk of entrapment and strangulation.
A 6 month old boy died of strangulation after his head was trapped between the seat and the tray of the Peg Perego stroller, and a 7 month old girl nearly strangled when her head became trapped.
An infant can pass through the opening between the stroller tray and the seat bottom and their head or neck can become trapped by the tray.
