Maclaren stroller recall

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall on Maclaren strollers sold before November 2009.

About one million single and double umbrella strollers have been recalled.

The hinge can pose a hazard to amputate or cut children's fingers when the stroller is being unopened.

You can get a free repair kit by contacting Maclaren USA.

To view the press release and pictures of the strollers, visit The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website.
