A baby stroller has been recalled due to a hazard affecting 2,000 units.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission the Tango Mini Stroller, which is manufactured by Baby Trend, was sold at Amazon, Target stores and on the Target website. According to the website, this recall involves four models of black Tango Mini Strollers. The stroller cost between $100 and $120.

Each has its own model number and is identifiable by a uniquely colored bonnet top sold in Quartz Pink (model number ST31D09A), Sedona Gray (ST31D10A), Jet Black (ST31D11A) and Purest Blue (ST31D03A). Model numbers are printed in black on a white sticker located on one of the stroller's legs.

The hazard on the strollers involves the hinge joints, which can "release and collapse" under pressure. This, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, poses a fall hazard to children in the stroller. The product was recalled on January 16, 2020.

Owners of the affected stroller need to immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact Baby Trend for a replacement or full refund, says the Commission. It is believed that around 2,000 strollers or units are affected.

The manufacturer, Baby Trend, is a California based company and says that it was the first to produce the Snap-N-Go and Sit N' Stand strollers, both of which have won numerous awards. It also produces car seats, high chairs and activity products, according to its website.
