Aria Child Recalls Strollers Due to Laceration, Fall Hazards

Nearly 30,000 strollers have been recalled due to a defect that poses laceration and fall hazards.

Aria Child recalled their Qbit strollers after 71 reports that the stroller can fold unexpectedly during use, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. There have been 12 reports of bumps or bruises and one of a fractured wrist and elbow due to falls.

Five consumers also reported being pinched by the stroller's hinge mechanism during folding, resulting in the need for stitches.

The recalled strollers are black with an accent color. The β€œgb” red box logo is printed on the harness and both sides of the stroller legs and β€œQbit” is printed on the legs. The model number and manufacture date can be found on a sticker on the rear leg.

The strollers were sold for about $180 at stores including Babies 'R' Us and online at websites including Albeebaby.com and Amazon.com from May 2015 through November 2016.
