    Child product safety news: Maclaren recall and stroller design, more

    Consumer Reports News: December 09, 2009 05:08 AM

    The recent recall of some one million Maclaren umbrella strollers in the U.S. due to a dozen amputations of children's fingertips garnered international media attention. We pulled 10 recently tested umbrella strollers out of our warehouse for inspection. But the Maclaren wasn't the only manufacturer to use that type of hinge design. We found one stroller in the batch of 10 that had a hinge design that would prevent a finger from being entrapped. Could more stroller recalls be on the horizon? Read the full Safety blog post.

    Recent child product safety recalls include 3,000 Team Work Trading children's metal pendants (lead exposure), 400 LaJobi "Molly" and "Betsy" cribs (strangulation hazard), and more.
