Peg Perego Recalls Hundreds and Thousands of Strollers

July 24, 2012 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

About 223,000 strollers have been recalled by Peg Perego because children can become trapped and strangled between trays on them. One death has already been reported.

Why it’s being recalled: The company said entrapment and strangulation can take place, particularly among those younger than a year old, when the child is not harnessed into the stroller. If unharnessed, children can pass through the opening between the tray and the seat bottom and the child’s neck and head can become trapped by the tray. A six-month-old boy from Tarzana, Calif. died of strangulation in a stroller in 2004, while a seven-month-old girl from New York was nearly strangled in 2006, according to Peg Perego USA Inc. 

Description: The recall involves approximately 223,000 strollers, which include Venezia and Pliko-P3 strollers in various colors, made between January 2004 and September 2007. Only strollers with a child tray and one cup holder are part of the recall. Strollers with a bumper bar in front of the child or a tray with two cup holders are not included in this recall.

The model numbers of affected strollers are:

IPPA28US33 IPPO28US69

IPPA28US34 IPPO28US70

IPPD28NA34 IPPO28US71

The model number is located on a white label on the back of the Pliko P-3’s stroller seat and on the Venezia stroller’s footboard. ‘‘Peg Perego’’ and ‘‘Venezia’’ or ‘‘Pliko-P3’’ are printed on the side of the strollers.

Where it was sold: The strollers were sold at various retailers, including Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us, for between $270 and $330.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the strollers and contact Peg Perego for a free repair kit at (888) 734-6020 or on its web site, www.PegPeregoUSA.com.
