Island Wear Strollers
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled strollers violate the federal Carriages and Strollers Safety standard. The location of the restraint system creates a large gap between the restraint and the seat. The child can slip through the gap, posing a fall hazard. In addition, the covering on the grab bar can detach and expose foam, posing a choking hazard to children.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Choking hazard from small parts.
