Peg Perego is recalling approximately 6,223,000 Venezia and Pliko-P3 strollers manufactured between January 2004 and September 2007. The recall was initiated because unharnessed infants can slide through the opening between the stroller tray and the seat bottom, leading to head or neck entrapment. Tragically, a 6-month-old boy died from strangulation in 2004, and a 7-month-old girl narrowly escaped a similar fate in 2006. These strollers were sold at retailers like Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby from 2004 through 2010. Consumers should stop using these strollers immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit.
An infant who is not properly harnessed can slide through the gap between the child tray and the seat. While the body may pass through, the child's head or neck can become trapped by the tray, posing a severe risk of strangulation and death.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact the firm for a free repair kit. Do not return the stroller to the retailers as they will not be able to provide the repair kit.
