Ergobaby METROUS Strollers Recall: Choking Hazard from Detachable Harness Button
Ergobaby recalls METROUS1, METROUS2, and METROUS4 Compact City strollers due to a choking hazard from a button that can break and detach, making it difficult to release the harness.
The button on some buckles that release the harness can break and detach when pressed by the user while the child is in the stroller, making it difficult to release, and posing a choking hazard to young children.
