Plain-English summary
Century Products Co. is recalling approximately 650,000 multi-use strollers, including the Take 2, Travel Solutions, Pioneer, Travelite, and Pro Sport models. These strollers were sold nationwide at mass merchandise, juvenile products, and discount department stores from approximately December 1996 through March 2001 for between $100 and $200.
The recall is due to a hazard where the strollers can unexpectedly collapse or the car seat/carrier adapter can unexpectedly detach. If this occurs, an infant or young child inside the stroller or an attached car seat/carrier can fall to the ground and suffer serious injuries. Century has received 681 reports of incidents, including 250 injuries. These injuries include three concussions, two skull fractures, one fractured elbow, two chipped teeth, and various bruises and cuts.
Consumers should stop using these strollers immediately. They should call Graco, which now owns the Century brand name, toll-free at (800) 345-4109 to order a free repair kit. Consumers should have their strollers available, as Graco will help determine if they have one of the recalled models. Model names can be found on the footrest, seat pad, frame legs, or a white label on the side locks.
