Reported: May 26, 2021 Initiated: May 26, 2021 #21139

Product Description

This recall involves the Ergobaby METROUS1, METROUS2, or METROUS4 Compact City Strollers. The strollers come with a harness that has a black release button in the middle of the buckle.

The strollers have a black, gray, or teal blue canopy and Ergo Baby printed on the front bottom of the stroller.

Reason for Recall
