The At Performance stroller has been urgently recalled after UK safety officials flagged a serious risk of asphyxiation for babies and toddlers when the product is used in an upright position.
In a safety alert issued by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), two models — the Z1 Black and Z1 Gray — were identified as posing a “high risk” due to missing safety warnings, instructions, and user guidance.
According to the report, without proper information, parents or carers may place a child in an upright seating position. If the child falls asleep, their head could slump forward, potentially restricting airflow and leading to positional asphyxia.
The stroller fails to comply with the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. As a result, corrective actions have been taken, including blocking further imports at the UK border. The strollers, originally manufactured in China, were officially recalled on May 23, 2025.
Advertised online for up to £500, the 3-in-1 pushchair is marketed as suitable for children up to 36 months and doubles as an infant carrier and car seat. One of its key features — a reclinable backrest — was found to be hazardous if adjusted upright.
This is the latest in a series of baby product recalls in recent months.
In April, a newborn teddy bear hooded sleeping bag sold on eBay was pulled from sale over suffocation concerns. Some units were missing arm holes, increasing the risk of infants slipping down inside, while others had hoods that could cover a baby’s face.
Earlier this month, ASDA recalled George baby zip rompers due to sharp edges on zippers. All sizes were affected, and parents were advised to return the items for a full refund.
Additionally, the Stokke YOYO 3 pram, priced at £319, was recalled earlier this year due to a fault in the parking brake that could cause it to disengage unexpectedly, posing a safety hazard.
