Consumers should discard or destroy the strollers. The affected strollers are Century TraveLite SPORT strollers with model numbers 11-171, 11-181, or 11-191. These strollers were made from February 1995 through October 1995. The model number and date manufactured are located on the side tubing of the stroller.
