METROUS HARNESS RECALL FAQ

Q: Why is the company conducting the voluntary recall?
A: Ergobaby is conducting this recall in an abundance of caution to keep our customers safe and help prevent any possibility of injuries. The button on some buckles that releases 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 if they obtain the button without supervision.

Q: Which product is being recalled?
A: The first generation METROUS1, METROUS2 and METROUS4 Compact City Strollers sold from July 2018 through September 2019. Only products in which the release button in the center of the buckle on your stroller is black in color and has no Ergobaby logo present. Gray color buttons and buttons with an Ergobaby logo on them are not part of this recall.
To confirm the model number of your product, please move to the rear of your stroller and check the label on the right side of the frame, above the right-side rear wheel.

Q: Have there been any injuries reported?
A: No injuries have been reported. The Company has received 15 consumer reports of the button on the buckle that releases the harness breaking and detaching when pressed by the user, making it difficult to release the buckle.

Q: Is my stroller otherwise still safe?
A: Yes. This is a voluntary recall that the company is conducting out of an abundance of caution and only concerns the harness buckle component. All Ergobaby strollers have consistently met and exceeded current regulatory safety standards.
