Maclaren stroller recall
Heads up to new parents: the Consumer Product Safety Commission and Maclaren USA have announced a voluntary recall of more than 1 million of its umbrella strollers, after 12 reports of fingertip amputations when a child put a finger in a hinge.
If you've got one of these models, including the Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, TechnoXLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno and Easy Traveller, contact the company for a free repair kit by calling (877) 688-2326 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or by going to www.maclaren.us/recall.
The CPSC says consumers should stop using the product until they install the repair.
The strollers were sold from 1999 through November 2009 at stores like BabysRUs and Target for $100 to $360.

Jan, I think there's been a lot of interest in this recall, since so many families are affected. --- lfk.
