WASHINGTON, 15 August 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using and discard COLOR TREE strollers because they pose an entrapment and strangulation risk to children.

The CPSC has reported violations to importer Karmas Far Inc. Rancho Cucamonga, California and SmartTech Mobile USA Inc., by Jacksonville, Floridaboth of which did not respond to a recall of this product.

The strollers have a black frame and handle and a seat and canopy made of grey fabric. “COLOR TREE” is printed on the canopy and “Karmas Far Inc.” is printed on the back of the seat frame. The strollers were made in China and sold on Karmasfar.us, Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Ebay.com for between 90$ And 120 $ out of November 2021 through November 2023.

The CPSC is urging consumers to stop using the strollers and dispose of them immediately. To dispose of the products, first remove the wheels, then remove the handle, fabric seat and canopy. Dispose of the parts in the trash according to local waste disposal guidelines. Do not sell or give away these dangerous strollers.
