Britons warned as 6 baby products found to pose a 'serious' risk of 'choking and injuries'
Six strollers have been recalled
OPSS/GETTY
Britons have been warned that various strollers have not met safety requirements and have a "high" or "serious" safety risk.
As a result, the items - which Britons may have ordered online - have been rejected at the border.
As a precaution, the strollers have also been destroyed which means anyone in the UK who ordered one of the affected items will not receive it.
Baby items from the brands Hao Shuo, Kidilo, Jiawababy and Baby HLX are affected.
All the products are unsafe to use

A young child may put the label in their mouth and choke.
"The product also presents a risk of injuries as the product’s restraint system did not have the crotch restraint integrated. As a result, the child would not be properly secured if both restraints were not in use, potentially causing the child to slip and injure themselves.
