PRODUCT: Pram Focus Comfort
BRAND: Nowalex
TYPE/NUMBER OF MODEL: Unknown
DESCRIPTION: Pram/pushchair for one child from
birth up to approx. 3 years (max. 15 kg). It has various
functions either by attaching a pram body or a seat to
the chassis. It comes in various colours and patterns.
The chassis is marked “Focus”; the pram body and
seat has a “Nowalex Baby Carriage” label.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Poland
INJURIES, CHOKING AND
SUFFOCATION
The product poses a risk of
injuries because in some cases
it is possible for the seat unit to
be placed in an unlocked
position as it is not wide
enough. The pushchair can tip
over when facing up a slope if
there is a nursery bag (2 kg) on
the handle. There are several
problems with the restraint
system. There is a risk of
entrapment because within the
access zone there are shear
and compression points
between moving parts. The
internal lining of the pram body
does not have sufficient
tension so it presents a
suffocation hazard. Detachable
foam, small metal parts and a
valve cap in the access zone
can be easily detached, put
into the mouth and swallowed.
The product does not comply
with the relevant European
standard EN 1888.
