Tike Tech Recalls Jogging Strollers Due to Strangulation Hazard
Tike Tech Ltd., of Toronto, Ontario
Hazard
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 by the grab bar, posing a strangulation hazard to young children when a child is not harnessed. When using a stroller, parents and caregivers are encouraged to always secure children by using the safety harness and never to leave them unattended.
