Recall Highlights Entrapment, Fall, and Choking Risks for Children
Besrey Twins Strollers, a popular choice for parents of twins, have been recalled due to multiple safety hazards that pose significant risks to children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on July 25, 2024, after identifying several violations of federal safety regulations for strollers. Manufactured by Stiger Inc. and sold exclusively on Amazon.com, approximately 3,045 units of the Besrey Twins Stroller are affected.
The recall stems from three primary safety concerns:
- The front seat in the forward-facing configuration can trap a child’s head or limbs, posing an entrapment hazard.
- Issues with the restraint system and rear seat enclosure can lead to children falling from the stroller.
- In strollers equipped with a black grab bar, the foam padding can become a choking hazard if bitten off by a child.
The Besrey Twins Stroller, model BR-C708S, features gray and black fabric, black frames, and black wheels. The canopies of the strollers can be positioned either up or down. Some units have a black grab bar covered in fabric with the “besrey” logo printed in white, while others have a light gray grab bar. The model number BR-C708S, the date of manufacture, and the name “STIGER, INC.” are indicated on a white label above the back right wheel. Additionally, the model number listed in the instructional literature is BR-708S.
Consumers who own this stroller should immediately stop using it and contact Stiger for information on how to dispose of the product to receive a full refund properly. Both Stiger and Amazon are actively reaching out to all known purchasers directly to facilitate the recall process.

How People Are Harmed and Injured by Defective Strollers
Defective strollers, like the Besrey Twins Stroller, can cause serious injuries to children. Entrapment hazards can lead to suffocation or strangulation if a child’s head or limbs become stuck in the stroller’s frame. Faulty restraint systems and inadequate seat enclosures can result in children falling out of the stroller, potentially causing head injuries, broken bones, or other trauma. Additionally, small parts or foam padding that can be bitten off and swallowed present a significant choking risk, which can lead to asphyxiation or other severe injuries.
Filing a Besrey Twins Stroller Injury Lawsuit to Recover Damages
Victims who have been harmed by the Besrey Twins Stroller may be entitled to file a lawsuit seeking damages. The lawsuit process begins with an initial consultation with a product liability attorney who will assess the case’s viability. If the case proceeds, the attorney will file a complaint, engage in the discovery phase to gather evidence, and possibly negotiate a settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may go to trial.
Why an Attorney is Essential in Product Injury Cases
Navigating a product liability lawsuit without an attorney can be challenging and may significantly reduce the chances of a successful outcome. An experienced attorney can handle all aspects of the case, from filing paperwork and gathering evidence to negotiating settlements and representing the client in court. Legal representation ensures that victims’ rights are protected and that they receive the maximum possible compensation for their injuries.
