Strollers by Maclaren Recalled


Hazard:  If the stroller is not fully opened or closed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, the hinge mechanism can pose a risk of fingertip amputation and laceration to the child. When used according the manufacturer's instructions, the strollers are safe and comply with Canadian stroller regulations. In Canada, approximately 22 000 of the recalled strollers were sold at The Bay, Toys R Us (Babies R Us), and other retailers.

An unknown number were also sold at Gap Canada Stores.


Remedy:  Consumers should use caution when opening or closing the stroller and ensure that children are at a safe distance when doing so. Consumers are instructed to contact American Baby Products, Inc. (formerly Maclaren USA) to receive a free repair kit.
