Graco, a maker of all sorts of baby gea,r has just initiated a recall on about 2 million baby strollers, after they revealed that 4 deaths may have been caused in the past by these strollers. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that 4 children had become trapped within the stroller between the seat and the tray, resulting in death by strangulation. As well as these deaths, another six incidents of injuries have been reported ranging from cuts and bruises, to trouble breathing.

The strollers which are part of the recall were all produced before 2008, when new larger openings were required between the seat and tray of strollers. “Quattro Tour” models which were produced prior to November of 2006, and the “Metrolite” models produced prior to July of 2007 are a part of this recall. Graco has asked anyone with these strollers to immediately stop their use, and call the company for a repair kit. The repair kit will be easy to use.

This is not the first recall for Graco products. In January of this year they recalled about 1.5 million strollers because children had their fingertips amputated from the hinges on them. Also in April they recalled 217,000 cribs because of the possibility of strangulation. Graco is a brand owned by Newell Rubbermaid, which was founded back in 1942 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They began producing baby products in 1953.
