Baby pram urgently pulled from sale over ‘serious risk of injuries’
A baby pram has been pulled from sale as it poses a “serious” risk of injuries. The braking system on the stroller doesn’t work properly, which could put children at risk.
It is described as a black baby stroller with red brakes and is unbranded. The pram came from China and has the barcode BOFDB1KXG9. As a result of the danger to children, it has been rejected at the UK border.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards issued a notice about the pram and said the prams they have seized have been destroyed. They said: “The product presents a serious risk of injuries because the braking system does not function properly.
“The product may move unexpectedly when the brakes are partially engaged, causing potentially hazardous scenarios. The product also does not provide the user with the necessary information to allow them to take precautions against the possible risks.”
The OPSS added: “The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.”
Earlier this week, the OPSS issued a product recall notice over popular children’s books featuring characters Peppa Pig and Hey Duggee. The Ladybird books, which were sold in 2020 and 2021, were found to pose a choking risk.
“The products present a risk of choking as the glitter varnish finish on the cover can lift and flake off, creating small parts,” the OPSS warned.
“These small parts pose a choking hazard to children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths.
“The products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.” As a result, Ladybird Books Limited recalled the items and urged customers to return to point of purchase for a refund.
The books affected are Peppa Pig: Peppa Meets Father Christmas, Peppa Pig: Peppa’s Night Before Christmas, Peppa Pig: Peppa Loves Easter, Peppa Pig: Peppa Goes to Hollywood and Hey Duggee: Duggee and the Christmas Badge.
Anyone with the affected books have been told to keep them out of reach of young children.
