A popular item sold at Costco has been recalled due to a potential child safety risk.Olympia Tools International, Inc.'s PACK-N-STROLL Folding Utility Wagon "was not marketed for use by children" and "may be mis-used in that manner," a recall notice Costco sent Thursday to customers who purchased the item said.Despite the popularity of stroller wagons, this particular wagon "does not meet federal safety standards for use with children because there is a risk of a child’s head becoming trapped between an opening between the wagon’s utility tray and the sidewall."Olympia Tools also said "the wagon does not contain a restraint system, posing a risk of falls to children." 1.2 MILLION COUNTERTOP OVENS SOLD AT MAJOR RETAILERS RECALLED FOR BURN HAZARDThe recalled utility wagons are "black with blue accents on the handle, wagon, and wheel spokes," the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said.
