Graco Stroller Recall due to Amputation, Laceration Hazards

A Graco stroller recall involving about 1.5 million models was announced after five reports of fingertip amputations and two reports of fingertip lacerations, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Atlanta, Ga.-based Graco Children’s Products Inc., is recalling “Passage,” “Alano” and “Spree” strollers and travel systems because the hinges on the stroller canopies can pose a laceration or amputation hazard if children put their fingers in the hinge. The company and the CPSC are aware of seven total reports of children placing their fingers in the hinges.

The strollers were sold nationwide at AAFES, Burlington Coat Factory, Babies “R” Us, Toys “R” Us, Kmart, Fred Meyer, Meijers, Navy Exchange, Sears Target, Walmart and other retailers from October 2004 through December 2009. The recall includes the following models:

According to the CPSC:

“Graco manufactured two different styles of hinge mechanisms for these stroller models. Only strollers or travel systems with a plastic, jointed hinge mechanism that has indented canopy positioning notches (see photos below) are included in this recall. The recalled strollers were manufactured between October 2004 and February 2008. The model number and manufacture date are located on the lower inside portion of the rear frame, just above the rear wheels.”
