Century Recalls E-Z Go Umbrella Strollers Due to Mechanical Defects

Century Products is recalling 14,600 E-Z Go and Sears umbrella strollers because seat backs and locking braces may fail, posing fall and pinch hazards.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (stroller) with potential for head injury and finger pinching, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for unreported harm.

Plain-English summary

Century Products Company is voluntarily recalling approximately 14,600 umbrella-style strollers in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall covers three models sold nationally between January and May 1988: model numbers 11-066DI and 11-077SA sold under the E-Z Go brand, and model number 11-074SR sold by Sears as an "Infant Umbrella-Style Stroller." Model numbers are located on the instruction sheet and on the stroller's legs.

The recall addresses mechanical problems where the seat backs and rear locking brace may not perform properly. If a toddler leans too far forward or the stroller stops abruptly, the child may fall forward and strike their head. Additionally, if the person pushing the stroller accidentally kicks the rear locking brace, the stroller may fold, potentially pinching the child's fingers.

Consumers should stop using these strollers immediately. Because the return program is no longer available, consumers are advised to discard or destroy the products. For more information, consumers can contact Century Products Company at 9600 Valley View Road, Macedonia, Ohio, or call 800-345-4109.
