The CPSC, along with GoPlus Corp. d/b/a Costway Inc., of Fontana, Calif. has announced a voluntary recall of about 16,000 Costway Baby Strollers because 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.
