A North Carolina-based company is recalling hundreds of strollers because of concerns that infants could be strangled or entrapped by the armrest.
The Jane Muum strollers violate the federal Stroller and Carriage standard because a baby could pass through the opening between the stroller armrest and the seat bottom and get their head or neck entrapped by the armrest, posing entrapment and strangulation hazards, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

No injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact Jané for a free repair. The repair consists of a free replacement armrest. Consumers can continue using the recalled strollers if they remove the armrest and harness the child properly until they receive the replacement armrest.
The recall involves the US model of Jané Muum strollers, which have a black frame, a reclining seat or hammock that is reversible and a hood. An insert is sold with the stroller for smaller babies. There is a basket for storage underneath the stroller seat.
The recalled strollers were sold in: dark gray and black (S85), light grey and black (S49), blue and black (S46) and green and black (S47). “Muum by Jané” is printed on the front bottom frame. “Muum” is printed on the side frame and on the handle. “Jané” and “Muum,” “Jané USA LLC,” “Muum US 5399US/S85” or “S47,” “S49,” “S46” are printed on a label on the leg of the stroller.
The strollers were sold at Albee Baby, Baby World, Kidsland, Toys R US, Dainty Baby, USA Baby stores and other stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com and other websites from July 2016 through August 2017 for between $300 and $450.
