Fingertip Amputations Force Maclaren Stroller Recall

A million models of the popular Maclaren brand of baby strollers were recalled today after the Consumer Product Safety Commission received reports that children’s fingertips were amputated by a hinge as strollers unfolded. Maclaren is offering free covers for the hinges on nine models sold at Target, Babies R Us and elsewhere from 1999 to this month.
