“fingertip amputation and laceration hazard” wow is all I can say… ironic how something designed primarily for safety ends up being extreme hazard to the user…

I think you are very lucky in USA, as you have very high customer protection. I have Maclaren umbrella stroller, and before few month I found out they recall that stroller from USA market. I went to shop and ask what to do as stroller was just few month old……they just told me- that is only for western countries, which do not apply for Croatia!!!??? I can only hope that one day if some product is recall that will also apply in our country

@ B – It’s one of the many I’m afraid. You might want to select the “recalls” category in the pull-down in the right column. You’ll see other umbrella stroller recalls that were released in the past two weeks (with similar hazards) from Maclaren and Graco.

Fingertip amputation? That is simply awful for considering that it is meant to keep the kids safe and comfortable. Hopefully no one was hurt, but thanks for the heads-up Dr.Moz.

Is this the one that endangers the child’s fingers in the canopy latch?

Thanks for the comment Hal. It’s great to hear from baby blog readers that my recall posts are making to parents that may not hear about them otherwise.

Always think safety first, especially for children
