One baby has died. A 6-month-old boy in California was strangled to death in a stroller in 2004, and a 7-month-old girl in New York was nearly strangled to death in 2006, Paligo America reported.

In addition, Kolcraft is recalling 5,600 Contours Options Lt double strollers, model ZT012, sold between February and July due to potential infant fall and suffocation hazards. The reason is that the front wheel mechanism may suddenly break, causing the baby to fall out of the stroller. Cart basket support screws and nuts manufactured between January and February may come apart. Fallen nuts are a potential choking hazard. There were no reports of injuries to the baby. Consumers should stop using this cart immediately and contact Kolcraft to receive a free replacement wheel.
