OTTAWA – Health Canada is calling almost 6,000 strollers sold under the brand name Safety 1st.
The Step n Go Travel Systems strollers were manufactured in China and distributed by Mississauga, Ont.,-based Dorel Juvenile Canada.
The federal agency says a tray folding mechanism can partially disengage on one side when an infant car seat is attached, posing a fall hazard.
