American consumers assume that products they purchase are safe for themselves and their families. But when recalls of essential and important items such as food, medications and children’s products are announced, buyers are understandably shaken. Products that put children at inherent risk, such as tainted formula or baby food, unsafe cribs or beds, flammable clothing, lead-containing toys, or defective strollers, leave parents upset and concerned. A recent stroller recall of 1 million strollers was announced after the carriages were found to pose a finger amputation risk to children. Learn more about product liability at www.alawpro.com.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the voluntary recall of approximately 1 million Maclaren strollers. Reportedly, 12 children were victims of fingertip amputation when their hands became caught in side hinges. Three other non-amputation injuries were also cited as reason for the recall. The injuries occurred over the past ten years, with a steep increase in the past two years. Umbrella strollers are the version affect by the recall, some of which have been on the market since 1999. Major retailers including Target and Babies ‘R’ Us have carried the products. Mac Laren is providing protective side covers to customers who request them, and prior to or in lieu of receiving the covers, the CPSC requests that adults open and close the strollers away from children’s reach.
