Graco Quattro™ and MetroLite™ Strollers
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
An infant can pass through the opening between the stroller tray and seat bottom, but his/her head and neck can become entrapped by the tray. Infants who become entrapped at the neck are at risk of strangulation.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.

What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact Graco for a free repair kit. Consumers can continue use of the stroller as a "travel system." When the stroller is used with the infant car seat, the entrapment and strangulation hazards posed by the space gap are not present.
Who to contact: Graco toll-free at (800) 345-4109 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at https://www.gracobaby.com/en-US/product-recall-details?gbprd=ST10QTMETSTR
