MacLaren's Major Safety Recall

A MacLaren recall involving at least one million umbrella strollers has just been announced. MacLaren is providing free of charge to all affected consumers and retailers a kit to cover the stroller's hinge mechanism, which poses a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is unfolding/opening the stroller.

The affected models include Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, Techno XLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno and Easy Traveller.
Consumers should stop using the strollers immediately and contact Maclaren via its website or by calling toll-free at (877) 688-2326, the company said.
