One Million Graco Strollers are Recalled after Amputations of Kids’ Fingertips

After two months of Graco Children’s Products recalling certain models of the Passage, Alano, and Spreee Strollers due to young children’s fingers being lopped off, 1.5 million strollers are being recalled for related reasons.

A total of five children had their finger tips cut off due to whenever the stroller’s canopy would be opened or closed reports the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Parents who do own the strollers have been informed to not use the strollers until they have received a repair kit from Gracco. Also it is suggested to visit the Gracco site to view the two types of hinges used on the strollers. Those with a plastic joined hinge with an indented canopy positioning notches are subject to this recall.

Similarily, the company Maclaren recalled their strollers in November 2009 after finger tip amputations in the hinges when opening and closing the stroller.
