Maclaren USA Recalls Strollers

Parents Report Finger Injuires On Stroller Hinges

POSTED: Monday, November 9, 2009
UPDATED: 11:10 am EST November 10, 2009

Maclaren USA is recalling about 1 million umbrella strollers, or all of the umbrella strollers made by the company since 1999.

Since 1999, a dozen parents have reported tips of their children's fingers were cut off when they were caught in the collapsible hinges.

The affected stroller models, both double and single, include:

  • The Volo
  • Triumph
  • Quest Sport
  • Quest Mod
  • Techno X-T
  • TechnoXLR
  • Twin Triumph
  • Twin Techno
  • Easy Traveler

    Maclaren said the recalled strollers meet all U.S. safety standards but that they've decided to recall them after the concerns from parents.

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission suggests parents stop using the strollers immediately.

    Maclaren is offering a free hinge cover repair kit.

    The company can be reached at 877-688-2326.

    The CPSC's release on the recall can be viewed at www.cpsc.gov.
