In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Graco Children’s Products is recalling 1.5 million Graco strollers.
Some styles of the Graco Passage, Alano and Spree strollers and travel systems have hinges on the stroller’s canopy that could cut and/or amputate a child’s fingertip when the canopy is opened or closed. Graco has received seven reports of children placing their fingers in the canopy hinge mechanism while the canopy was being opened or closed, resulting in five fingertip amputations and two fingertip lacerations.
