Recalls: Graco Strollers, Dorel Asia Cribs
January 20th 2010 by Dr.MOZ in Cribs, Recalls, Strollers
Although I’d prefer to highlight quality baby products, the CPSC has released two major recalls in the last 24 hours which shouldn’t be overlooked including:
- Graco Recalls Strollers (1.5 million units, due to fingertip amputation and laceration hazards): The hinges on the stroller’s canopy pose a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is opening or closing the canopy. This recall involves Graco Passage™, Alano™, and Spree™ Strollers and Travel Systems with the following model numbers and specific hinge mechanisms (recalled models)
- Dorel Asia Cribs Recalled (635,000 units, due to strangulation and suffocation hazard): One infant death reported, 10 injuries to infant. The drop side hardware can fail causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. (recalled models)
Be sure to check the model numbers if you use Graco strollers or Dorel Asia cribs because there were far too many recalled styles to fit into our graphic above.
Have fun and stay healthy,

It is really worrying. I’ve got a Graco stroller myself, although not one of the recalled ones.

Seems to be an improved one than the one I am using. Thanks for sharing the details along with the graphical details. Nice post!

I’m a big fan of Graco the company. When my son was about 6 months old, his Graco swing suddenly died, and I’ll be completely honest, it was my fault. I called Graco customer service, told them what happened, and they sent me a complete new motor unit, for free, and it came by UPS about three days later!
