Kolcraft Recalls Contours Tandem Strollers Due to Fall and Choking Hazards

Hazard

Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact the company to receive free replacement wheels. Consumers with strollers manufactured in January and February 2012 will also receive replacement nuts for the basket support screws.
