Maclaren Stroller Recall

News broke a couple of days ago that Maclaren were to issue a stroller recall, it is thought that more than one million strollers will be recalled. It is reported that all Maclaren strollers from 1999 to present day will be involved in the recall, but we are still waiting to learn what those model numbers are.

The reason for the recall is due to children’s fingertips getting amputated by the hinge on the affected strollers. According to ABC News, there have been dozens of reports of children’s finger’s getting amputated, as you would imagine, this is a very serious problem.

BABY BARGAINS has learned the CPSC and Maclaren will issue a press release in the recall this Tuesday; Maclaren began notifying its dealers of the recall in the past couple of days. We have seen the letter that went out to retailers last week and can confirm the details.
Here is the take-home message until the recall is official:
• Stop using all Maclaren strollers—yes, every model made since 1999.
• When the recall goes public on Tuesday, order a hinge cover from Maclaren’s web site or phone line. (Note: the web site is not live yet as of this writing).
• Wait until you install the hinge cover before using the stroller again.
We will blogging updates on this recall as it develops this week.
