What happened

Century Products Company recalled approximately 14,600 umbrella strollers sold between January and May 1988 under the E-Z Go brand name (model numbers 11-066DI and 11-077SA) and sold by Sears as an Infant Umbrella-Style Stroller (model number 11-074SR). The strollers pose a fall hazard because the seat backs and rear locking brace may not function properly, potentially causing a child to fall forward and strike their head if they lean too far forward or if the stroller stops abruptly. Additionally, the rear locking brace can accidentally fold the stroller if kicked, potentially pinching a child's fingers.

According to the recall notice, affected consumers should stop using the stroller and discard or destroy the product. The notice states that the return program is no longer available. Consumers seeking more information may contact Century Products Company at 800-345-4109 or write to 9600 Valley View Road, Macedonia, Ohio.
