Plain-English summary

Dorel Juvenile Group USA is recalling approximately 300,000 COSCO® "Rock 'N Roller" baby strollers. The recall involves strollers with detachable seats that can function as bassinets or be repositioned on the frame. The strollers feature a dark blue or green metal frame with specific model numbers (01-654, 01-622, 01-624, 01-646, or 01-656) and were sold at retailers including Wal-Mart, Kmart, Sears, Toys R Us, Target, and J.C. Penney from April 1996 through August 2002 for between $79 and $179.

The hazard exists because if the stop pins are bent or missing, or if the seat is not fully attached, the seat can partially detach from the frame during use. This can cause the infant occupant to fall and be injured. There have been 77 reports of problems related to the stroller seats, including one child who fell and had a slight concussion, another child who cut his forehead and required stitches, and 46 reports of bumps and bruises.

Consumers should stop using the recalled strollers immediately. They should call Dorel Juvenile Group at (800) 711-0402 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to determine how to inspect the stroller for possible replacement.
