Recalled Graco strollers may cause child injuries

The CPSC announced today that about 1.5 million strollers sold at Walmart, Target and other big retailers are being recalled after some children had their fingertips severed by hinges on the product.

The recall includes models of the Passage, Alano and Spree Strollers and Travel Systems. The strollers were manufactured between October 2004 and December 2009. The model number and date of manufacture are located on the lower inside portion of the stroller frame, just above the rear wheel. You can click here to determine if your stroller has been recalled.

The recall comes after the company received reports of injury that occurred when children put their fingers in the canopy hinge as the canopy was being opened or closed. Five children had their fingertips severed and two received cuts.

The CPSC advises that parents stop using the strollers immediately and contact Graco for a free set of protective hinge covers.

In November, Maclaren announced a similar recall of its popular umbrella strollers. The CPSC has expanded their investigation to include other stroller brands.

Child products should be safe. In the event that your child is injured by any stroller, you should contact the product liability attorneys at Roswold Law Group immediately to determine whether you are eligible for compensation for any injuries and damages suffered.
