Finger Amputations Prompt Stroller Recall
A Connecticut-bases stroller manufacturer announced yesterday that it is recalling about 1 million baby carriages because of a finger amputation risk to children. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Maclaren USA Inc. had received at least 12 reports injuries resulting in amputation during the past decade from children placing their fingers in the side hinges of the strollers. The recall covers all umbrella strollers sold by the company since 1999.
