Plain-English summary
Gerico Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced a voluntary repair program for 40,000 potentially defective portable baby strollers. The affected models are the "Gerry Carryfree" (model numbers 0-95, 0-99, 0-100, and 0-110) and the "Sears 'Stroll 'N Fold'" (model number 36443). These strollers may have defective locking devices which could cause the stroller to collapse forward on the child. No injuries have been reported.

They can be identified by a 4-digit code number running from 7010 through 7056, stamped on the strap located beneath the stroller seat. The strollers retailed for about $25 each and were sold at Sears and other stores throughout the country.
Consumers who have one of these strollers should contact the store where it was purchased or Gerico Inc. at P.O. Box 998, Boulder, Colorado 80306. A repair kit will be provided free-of-charge.
