is this sentence right?

This can put a strain on low-income families, a problem that can be avoided if children are not bombarded with advertisements.

I am wondering , is it correct to use ", a problem that ... " here. If so, what is the name of the grammar rule?

I am guessing "a problem" here is referring to the word "this" at the beginning at the sentence. I would remove "a problem that" and put "and" to join to two phrases together.

So the sentence will be like this:

This can put a strain on low-income families, a problem that  and can be avoided if children are not bombarded with advertisements.
