UK Product Recalls Affecting Children
We have been asked by a number of concerned parents if we can highlight those product safety recalls that are related to children's products or may directly affect children.
All of the recalls listed below appear in the appropriate categories elsewhere in RecallUK. We have listed them on this page to make it easier for parents to find them.

| 27/07/2012 | US Kolcraft and Peg Perego Recalls |
| In the US there have been a number of recalls of Kolcraft products. We are led to believe that the Kolcraft products are not sold by Kolcraft in the UK but they are sold into the UK from shopping websites. If you have a Kolcraft pushchair or Basinet check out this information to make sure it is not one of those that has been recalled. |
| Peg Perego has recalled 220,000 strollers because of a number of serious incidents in the US. We have asked Peg Perego to confirm that these strollers were not sold in the UK. They have not responded so we have listed this recall here in case you have one. |
