Beware of Those MacLaren Strollers

Whether you've recently purchased a Maclaren stroller or inherited one from a previous parent, the recall that's expected to be released tomorrow is one to keep an eye on. News reports today are saying that the company is planning to recall 1 million strollers that have been manufactured between 1999 and today because a hinge on the side of the stroller can and has amputated little fingertips.

"The hinge is on the side of the strollers and there have been incidents with children getting into the strollers as well as when they're already seated in the strollers," ABC News reports.

The company, according to these reports, plans to send hinge covers to stroller owners.

3 p.m Update: Here's the link to the recall on the Consumer Product Safety Commission Web site. The affected models, according to the news release, included Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, TechnoXLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno and Easy Traveller. For additional information, call Maclaren USA at (877) 688-2326 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the company’s Web site at www.maclaren.us/recall
