Peg Perego Pliko P3 and Venezia strollers

Product description

This recall involves older models of the Peg Perego Pliko P3 and Venezia strollers with the model numbers listed below. The strollers were manufactured from January 2004 through September 2007 and sold in various colours and fabrics.

Only strollers that have a child tray with one cup holder are part of this recall. Strollers with a bumper bar in front of the child or a tray with two cup holders are not included.

Hazard identified

Entrapment and strangulation can occur, especially to infants younger than 12 months of age, when a child is not harnessed. An infant can pass through the opening between the stroller tray and seat bottom, but his/her head and neck can become entrapped by the tray. Infants who become entrapped at the neck are at risk of strangulation.

On July 24, 2012, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of several models of strollers due to the death that occurred in the United States of a 6-month old baby by entrapment and strangulation in 2004. The child was not restrained and was sleeping unattended in the stroller.

These strollers met all Canadian regulations at that time and also meet the current regulations.

Neither Health Canada nor Peg Perego has received any reports of Canadian fatalities or injuries related to the affected models.

For more information on the hazard, see Health Canada's Stroller Advisory and information on strollers.
