4.7M Strollers Recalled After Amputation Reports

Friday, November 21st, 2014

After reports of six fingertip amputations, four partial-fingertip amputations and one finger laceration, Graco Children’s Products has recalled about 4.7 million strollers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the folding hinge that appears on the sides of the stroller "can pinch a child’s finger, posing a laceration or amputation hazard." The 11 models affected are all single-occupant strollers that have an "external sliding fold-lock hinge on each side and a one-hand fold release mechanism on the handle."
