Pack-N-Stroll Premium Folding Utility Wagon Injury & Wrongful Death Lawsuit Lawyers

Olympia Tools Faces Recall Over Serious Head Entrapment and Fall Hazards Linked to Folding Utility Wagons Sold at Costco and Online

When a product meant to support families and outdoor activities puts children at risk of serious injury or death, it raises urgent safety and legal concerns. That is now the case with the Pack-N-Stroll Premium Folding Utility Wagon, manufactured by Olympia Tools International, Inc. and sold through Costco.com and Cohooutdoors.com between June and July 2025.

On October 23, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a nationwide recall of approximately 530 units of this wagon due to dangerous defects that violate federal stroller safety standards. The primary hazards include head entrapment between components of the wagon and the absence of a child restraint system, both of which can result in severe injury or even death.

While no injuries have been reported yet, the seriousness of the risks requires immediate action. Families who purchased this product may be entitled to a refund—and potentially more if a child was harmed while using the wagon.

What Is the Pack-N-Stroll Utility Wagon and Who Is Affected?

The Pack-N-Stroll Premium Folding Utility Wagon is designed for families needing an easy-to-store, collapsible transport unit for outings, sports events, and park days. Its features include:

• A folding frame for storage convenience
• Blue and black color scheme
• Cupholders and a removable tray attached to the handle
• Wheels and push/pull handle for maneuverability

The wagon was marketed as a multi-use family gear carrier, often doubling as a seating space for children. Unfortunately, this dual-use marketing likely encouraged families to allow small children to ride in it, despite the absence of key safety features required by law for strollers or child transport devices.

Products were sold nationwide through Costco.com and Cohooutdoors.com for $200 to $400 each, putting thousands of children at risk in homes, parks, and public places.

Why the Utility Wagon Was Recalled, The Specific Safety Hazards

According to the CPSC recall alert, the Pack-N-Stroll wagon fails to comply with mandatory federal safety standards for strollers. Two core dangers were identified:

Head Entrapment Risk

The wagon contains a gap between the organizational tray and the sidewall, which is large enough for a small child’s head to fit through. Once inserted, the child’s head could become trapped in the opening, restricting breathing and posing a suffocation hazard.

This is not a cosmetic flaw. It is a violation of safety standards that were developed specifically to prevent deaths associated with head entrapment in children’s products.

Fall Hazard from Missing Restraints

The product lacks a restraint system, such as a harness or safety belt, which is required for any child-transporting equipment resembling a stroller. Without a proper restraint, a child may fall from the wagon during motion—especially when navigating curbs, bumps, or uneven terrain.

Such falls can result in:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Facial fractures
• Spinal trauma
• Broken limbs

Even a minor fall can leave lasting consequences when a young child is involved.

Legal Violations and Federal Safety Standards

The Pack-N-Stroll recall is not simply a voluntary product update. It represents a failure to meet federal safety laws established by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). Under these rules, any product resembling a stroller or child transport item must:

• Prevent entrapment and suffocation
• Include a secure restraint system
• Undergo specific testing and certification before sale

By omitting these features, Olympia Tools placed a defective, legally noncompliant product on the market, exposing families and children to unacceptable risk. Under consumer safety law, this may amount to product liability and negligence, opening the door to legal claims.

What Parents Should Do Immediately

The CPSC recommends that anyone who purchased this wagon take the following actions:

• Stop using the product immediately. Do not allow children to ride in or near it under any circumstances.
• Return the product to Costco. A full refund will be issued, regardless of the condition of the wagon.
• Contact Olympia Tools at 1-866-461-8665 or visit www.cohooutdoors.com and click “Recall” at the bottom of the page.
• Monitor for injuries. If your child has fallen from or been trapped in the wagon, document the incident and seek medical evaluation.

Families whose children were injured during use should speak with a personal injury attorney to explore possible compensation options. Manufacturers are legally obligated to protect consumers, especially children.

Who May Have a Claim Against Olympia Tools?

Families may have legal claims if:

• A child was injured while using the Pack-N-Stroll Premium Folding Utility Wagon
• The wagon was used as reasonably intended (e.g., as a child transport device)
• The injury resulted from the product’s failure to include safety restraints or improper design

Potential legal claims include:

• Product liability (design and manufacturing defect)
• Failure to warn (insufficient labeling or marketing for child safety)
• Negligence in releasing the product without complying with federal safety rules

Damages could include compensation for:

• Emergency medical bills
• Surgery or follow-up care
• Pain and emotional suffering
• Long-term disability or scarring
• Punitive damages in some jurisdictions

What If No Injury Occurred, Can Families Still Sue?

If no injury has occurred, families can still return the product for a refund. However, lawsuits typically require actual harm or quantifiable damages. That said, if a parent narrowly avoided serious injury and has documented medical costs, trauma, or product failure, a claim may still be possible under certain state consumer protection laws.

Keeping receipts, photographs of the product in use, medical reports, and witness statements can significantly strengthen a potential case.

As of the recall announcement, no injuries have been officially reported. However, the hazards are considered severe enough that federal safety regulators issued a recall to prevent potential harm.
