The Hazard: There is a button on the stroller's carrycot/seat carry handle that can disengage and cause the handle to detach, posing both fall and choking hazards to young children, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Bugaboo has received 58 reports of the handles becoming detached.

The strollers were sold at various retailers including Buy Buy Baby, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Toys 'R Us, and online at Bugaboo.com and other retailers. The Bugaboo Cameleon was sold between September 2009 and June 2012; the Bugaboo Donkey was sold from January 2011 through December 2012. About 50,000 strollers in the U.S. and Canada are involved in this recall.

What to do: Remove the carry handle from the strollers and request a free replacement handle from Bugaboo. (You can still use the stroller while waiting for the replacement handle.)

Flame retardants are possible carcinogens. The reason they're so prevalent in household furniture is because of the cigarette lobbies. Instead of blaming cigarettes for setting homes on fire, they blamed furniture for being flammable. I think it's actually a good things these things are flammable.
