Maclaren recalled approximately 1 million “umbrella” strollers in November 2009 due to the risk of amputation. 15 children in the last ten years have had fingers amputated or injured when their fingers were caught in a hinge while parents were opening or closing the stroller’s canopy. The recall includes ALL Maclaren strollers sold in the US since they were introduced in 1999. The models include the Maclaren Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, Techno XLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno and Easy Traveller.
If you have a Maclaren stroller, please stop using it immediately and call Maclaren at (877) 688-2326. The company will send you a free repair kit, which will cover up the faulty hinge.
**Graco issued a similar recall in January 2010 for the same risk of amputation. Read about it here.
