Bugaboo Cameleon and Donkey Strollers Has Been Recalled for Choking Hazards to Children

Target has recalled 46,300 Bugaboo Cameleon and Donkey strollers in the U.S. and 4,440 in Canada because a button on the stroller's carrycot/seat carry handle can become disengaged and cause the handle to detach, posing fall and choking hazards to young children.
