Attention Parents: Maclaren USA Inc. Recalls Strollers after Amputation Reports
The experienced Philadelphia defective product liability lawyers call your attention to the fact that Maclaren USA Inc. has recalled approximately one million strollers sold in the United States over the past decade after receiving reports of children’s fingers being amputated when caught in the stroller’s hinges. Maclaren announced a voluntary recall with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Monday, November 9, 2009. CPSC said consumers should immediately stop using the strollers which were made in China unless otherwise instructed. The recall involves all Maclaren single and double umbrella strollers sold in the United States starting in 1999. Maclaren had received 15 reports that children were placing their fingers in the stroller’s hinge mechanism with 12 reported finger amputations in the United States. The incidents occurred while the strollers were being opened or closed and not while the children were seated in the strollers.
Models affected include Volo Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, Techno XLR, Twin Triump, Twin Techno and Easy Traveler.
