The product
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. Model Description Colors BB4476 Infant Double Stroller Red, Gray, Black BB4613 Infant Double Stroller Black BB4690 Face to Face Double Stroller Gray
What can happen
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.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled baby strollers and contact Costway for instructions on how to receive a full refund including taxes and original shipping cost. Costway is contacting all purchasers directly.
