Finger-slicing stroller recall

WASHINGTON — About a million Maclaren strollers sold by Target and Babies “R” Us were recalled yesterday after 12 reports that the hinge mechanism had severed 12 kids’ fingertips.

The recall includes all nine models of single- and double-umbrella strollers, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The risk occurs when a finger is placed in the hinge of a stroller being unfolded. When the stroller locks into place, it can cut off the fingertip.
