Mutsy USA EVO Strollers Due to Strangulation Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
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, posing a strangulation hazard to young children when a child is not harnessed.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
