Stroller urgently recalled over ‘high risk' of babies and toddlers choking as parents warned to stop using immediately
PRAM PULLED Stroller urgently recalled over 'high risk' of babies and toddlers choking as parents warned to stop using immediately Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 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. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The stroller has been urgently recalled as it poses a potential choking hazard Credit: OFFICE FOR PRODUCTS & STANDARDS 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.

Parents warned to make immediate change to popular Bugaboo highchair as children are at ‘risk of injuries'
Plus, the Amazon toy which has been urgently recalled URGENT WARNING Parents warned to make immediate change to popular Bugaboo highchair as children are at 'risk of injuries' PARENTS have been issued a strong warning after a popular Bugaboo highchair has been found to put kids at 'risk of injuries'. The Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair - which retailed for around £200 - has been removed from the market after it did not meet safety regulations. 4 Parents have been urged to make an immediate change to the popular Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair Credit: Specifically this affects batches 200001001, 200001002, 200001005, 200001007, and 200001013. The hazard listed on the Gov UK website states that when an infant is seated in the baby chair, the legs of the wooden highchair can detach from the frame. This occurs if the screws attaching the legs to the frame are 'not tightly secured.' The warning states: 'Bugaboo UK Limited understands that this can occur due to the opposing forces an infant's thighs and feet can place on the upper baby set accessory seat and footrest. 'The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.' While the product has been removed from the market, including from Boots, Bugaboo will provide a free repair kit containing revised screws if you wish to continue using it. The kit will include an updated Allen key and a user manual on the proper application of the screws. The Bugaboo website has a search for checking if your Bugaboo Giraffe needs a repair kit. The advice state: 'If you want to continue using your Bugaboo Giraffe highchair until you have replaced the screws using the Repair Set, you can only do so safely if you put the footrest in its lowest position. 'You can put the footrest in its lowest position by pressing the two buttons located on either side of the footrest while sliding the footrest down.' Is This Trend Safe? | Baby Pram Controversy 4 The warning states that as screws become loose, the legs of the high chair could detach from the frame Credit: 4 If you wish to use the high chair before the new screws arrive, Bugaboo says you can do so safely if the footrest is kept in its lowest position Credit: Getty Dutch brand Bugaboo has been designing and manufacturing luxury strollers, prams, and high chairs since 1999. This comes as a trendy children's dinosaur toy sold on Amazon was urgently recalled over a "serious" choking hazard. The blue and pink 3D printed toy was mislabelled and a small child could choke on a small part of it. Togetdream's 3D Printed Dinosaur Toy "presents a serious risk of choking as it is supplied with a small part, and is inappropriately labelled", the notice for its recall said. 4 A child aged under 36 months could put the bone in their mouth and choke Credit: Amazon

Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
