Jogging Strollers Recalled Because of Strangulation Hazard
According to a report by PRNewswire.com, Tike Tech has voluntarily recalled roughly 800 of its jogging strollers because they pose a strangulation hazard. The report states that there is a space between the grab bar and seat bottom that an infant can fall through and possibly suffer strangulation.
This can happen when the child is not safely harnessed into the stroller. The specific models that are affected by the recall are the Tike Tech Single City X3 and X3 Sport models of jogging strollers. Consumers are strongly urged not to use these products any longer if they find that they own the models that are effected. The report states that there have been no incidents of death or injury as a result of the defective product.
To think that your baby could be put in harms way is a scary thing. Consumer safety is always important especially with products that are marketed or sold for children and babies. Unfortunately, due to poor design quality or other defects, or poor usage, children often find themselves in dangerous situations that could easily cause very serious injury or death. It is very easy for a child to fall into these situations, as they are incapable of discerning what is dangerous and what is not. In any case, you should always ensure that the products you buy for your children are safe and monitor your children when using them.
