Graco Recalls 1.5 Million Strollers
The AP reported, “About 1.5 million Graco strollers sold at Wal-Mart, Target and other major retailers are being recalled after some children’s fingertips were amputated by hinges on the products.” Five children “had their fingertips severed and two children received cuts on their fingertips.” In an announcement Wednesday, the CPSC “said the strollers pose an amputation and laceration hazard to children when opening or closing the canopy.”
This is not the first recall of strollers Graco has made within the last year. This is yet another in a serries of recalls by several manfacturers of products for babies, including cribs and play pens that have caused injuries and deaths.
Bloomberg News (1/20, Richter) reported, “The recall covers those Graco Passage, Alano and Spree strollers and travel systems with a plastic, jointed hinge mechanism that has indented canopy positioning notches, the agency said.”
