Almost 1.5 million Graco strollers were recently recalled after several children’s fingertips were amputated. The problem is with the canopy hinges. When opened or closed by children or those with small fingers, a defect in the hinge itself is allowing fingers to be stuck and amputated. The recall includes Graco strollers sold at Wal-Mart, Target, Sears, Babies R Us and other major retailers from October 2004 through February 2008.

Last November, over a million Maclaren strollers were recalled after 12 reports of children’s fingertips beig amputated. These two recalls have lead the CPSC to investigate all strollers with a similar design.
