January 31, 2012 - UPPAbaby Peg Perego Infant Car Seat Adapter. This recall involves an adapter that allows a Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Car Seat to attach onto an UPPAbaby Vista Stroller frame. The adapter is two pieces that attach to the right and left side of the stroller frame. It is sold separately from the stroller and the car seat and can be identified by SKU-0091. The plastic pins on the adapter, which the infant car seat latches onto can break. This pin breaking can cause the infant car seat to disengage from the stroller frame causing a fall hazard for the occupant of the car seat. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected adapters and contact the distributor 5514KM Corporation to arrange to receive a free replacement adapter. The company can be reached on their customer service line at 1-888-502-5514 ext 444 between 9 AM and 4:30 PM ET, Monday through Friday. Approximately 879 of the recalled products were sold in Canada between May 2011 to November 2011.
January 12, 2012 Chariot Carriers Child Bicycle Trailers and Conversion Kits. This recall involves Chariot bicycle trailers and bicycle trailer conversion kits. Recalled trailers have serial numbers from 1205-xxxx to 0710-xxxx (representing manufacture dates December 2005 through July 2010) located the left side on the frame. Recalled conversion kits have hitch arms that attach the carrier to the bicycle with model number 2010053 printed on a label attached to the aluminum tube next to the warning label. The bracket on the carrier is known as the Versa-Wing 2.0 ("VW2"). Older conversion kits without a label, but with a release push button located where the hitch arm inserts into the carrier, are also being recalled. The bicycle trailer's hitch mechanisms can crack and break, causing the trailer to detach from the bicycle. This poses an injury hazard to children in the bicycle trailer. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycle trailers and bicycle trailer conversion kits and contact Chariot Carriers for a free repair kit which the consumer can install. Consumers can receive a repair kit by contacting Chariot at 1-800-262-8651 between 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website. Approximately 41,000 of the recalled bicycle trailers and 64,000 of the bicycle trailer conversion kits were sold in Canada. The recalled trailers were sold from December 2005 through August 2010. The recalled hitch arms were sold from October 2002 through August 2011.
