McCrory Recalls Three Baby Stroller Models Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

McCrory Stores of York, Pa., is voluntarily recalling three types of baby strollers manufactured between May 1983 and May 1988. The recall addresses a safety issue where the tube ends of the strollers are sealed with plastic plugs that can be removed. These plugs are small enough to present a choking or ingestion hazard if a child places them in their mouth. Additionally, if the plugs are removed, the exposed metal ends of the tubes may have sharp edges capable of lacerating a toddler's fingers, hands, or arms.

The affected strollers include Model AT410 (Item #129098), Model PHT438 (Item #128942), and Model PHT417. These strollers feature variations of a blue and white checked print and were imported from Taiwan. They were sold nationally in McCrory stores as well as Britt's, Elmore, H.L. Green, Kittinger, Kress, McLellan, Newberry, Silver, TG&Y, and some independent stores. Units with a manufacturing date of May 1, 1987, or later are not subject to this recall.

No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. Consumers who have these strollers should discontinue using them and contact McCrory for a free modification kit or other instructions. When contacting McCrory, consumers should include the stroller's item number and style.
