A POPULAR baby pram has been urgently recalled amid concerns it could cause serious harm to young children.
Parents have been warned to stop using the stroller immediately as it can pose a potential choking hazard.

The At Performance stroller has been recalled as it poses a 'high risk' of asphyxiation to babies and toddlers when being used.
A report from The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) revealed the risk in an urgent product safety report.
The report claims that the Z1 Black and Z1 Gray models are those which pose a safety risk to young children if put in an upright position.
It reads: "The product presents a high risk of asphyxiation due to the lack of warnings, instructions and safety information.
"Without access to this information, a parent or carer could place the baby in the product in an upright position.
"If the baby fell asleep, their head could drop forwards, restricting airflow to the lungs and potentially causing positional asphyxia."
As a result, the item does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 and corrective measures have been implemented as a result.
This includes imports of the item being rejected at the border with the strollers originally coming from China.
The product was recalled on May 23 2025.
The stroller is advertised online for as much as £500 and is described as suitable for children up to 36 months.
Its description boasts a functional 3-in-1 pushchair that can also be used as an infant carrier and car seat.
One of the features mentioned is the stroller backrest which "can be reclined to the lie-flat position in three increments" but if made upright, it presents a potentially fatal risk to a baby or toddler.
The At Performance stroller isn't the only baby item to be recalled recently either.
Just last month, parents were warned that a Newborn 0-3 Month Hooded Teddy Bear Sleeping Bag, sold via eBay, posed a serious suffocation risk.
Some of the items were missing arm openings, meaning a baby may slip down if unattended, while others include a hood which could potentially cover their head or face if left alone.
Parents were warned to "stop using them immediately".
Earlier this month, ASDA was also forced to recall baby clothes after issuing an urgent warning to parents.
The George baby zip rompers had a manufacturing issue that meant some of the zips potentially had sharp edges.
ASDA warned it affected all sizes and urged parents to return the item for a full refund.
And another trendy pram was recalled earlier this year over concerns with its parking brake.
Parents were urged to check if their Stokke YOYO 3 Pram was part of the recall as the £319 stroller may experience an unintentional release of the brake during use, putting children at risk of an insecurely parked pram.
