About 2 million baby strollers sold before 2008 at major retailers across the country are being recalled because four infants died of strangulation after becoming trapped in the leg opening under the tray.
Graco Children's Products Inc. announced the voluntary recall of the Quattro Tour and MetroLite strollers Wednesday. The strollers were sold mostly at AAFES, Babies R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, Fred Meyer, Kmart, Meijers, Navy Exchange, Sears, Target and Walmart between November 2000 and December 2007.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commision (CPSC) and Graco issued the alert after receiving reports of four infant strangulation deaths, five infants receiving cuts and bruises and one infant having difficulty breathing. Infants, especially those younger than 12 months old, can become weddged between the stroller tray and seat bottom if not properly strapped into the stroller, leaving their heads and necks trapped by the tray.
Consumers are advised to stop using these strollers immediately and to contact Graco for a free repair kit.
