Maclaren, a British major stroller manufacturer is expecting to recall 1 million strollers. It has been said that all Maclaren strollers that were sold since 1999 are included in the recall. Although the official announcement is set for Tuesday, November 10 2009, Maclaren began notifying dealers of the recall in the past days and a letter that went out to the retailers has confirmed that this is true.
According to the New York Daily News, Maclaren is making the recall voluntarily. This is based on the concerns and incidences that kids can get their fingers cut off in the hinge of the carrier. In fact there have been 12 cases wherein kids had their fingers amputated after they were being caught in the hinge while the stroller is being opened or closed.
The impacted hinge can be found on the sides of the strollers and the incidents have been taking place when children are getting in the strollers and while they are already seated.
Maclaren is said to have plans to send stroller owners protective covers for the hinges. Maclaren will provide the hinge cover through its website and a special phone line for this purpose will be opened. When the recall goes public officially on Tuesday, parents can start ordering the hinge cover through the website or the phone line.
It is advised that parents who own a Maclaren stroller would stop using it until they have the Maclaren stroller repaired. The company along with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission will be providing its costumers and retailers a free repair kit which can be used to help install and cover the hinge. Wait until you have the hinge cover installed before you can let your kids use the Maclaren stroller again.
Maclaren and a spokesman for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission will soon be officially announcing the product recall with Maclaren on Tuesday with all the information and the answers that everyone needs.
Strollers are one of the major expenses parents have to spend on due to the convenience that they bring. As they carry your babies and kids, it is expected that these products must be made with good quality with comfort and security of the baby in mind. This being said, do you believe that Maclaren should pay the damages for those children who got hurt due to their strollers?

I am completely impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the author of whatpeoplesay.info can continue to provide so much useful information and unforgettable experience to whatpeoplesay.info readers. There is not much to say except the following universal truth: 6 O’clock newscasts always do segments on how nice the weather was, despite everyone knowing this I will be back.
I liked it. So much useful material. I read with great interest.
I read blogs on a similar topic, but i never visited your blog. I added it to favorites and i’ll be your constant reader.
I read a few topics. I respect your work and added blog to favorites.
In truth, immediately i didn’t understand the essence. But after re-reading all at once became clear.
Next time you order something read all the fine print. It would tell you how to return it. Also a good idea, and its what I do, print the page and file it so you have it available.

I just heard about this myself! We have a Maclaren Triumph, so I should order that kit. The term “recall” is misleading. They are not actually recalling the strollers–just asking everyone to order a hood to go over one of the hinges.
Also, I read that ALL umbrella strollers have this same hinge and Maclaren is leading the way by trying to remedy the problem.
The hinge in question might hurt a kid's finger when you are unfolding the stroller. Because we fold up the stroller just a couple times a year, I am not freaking out about this at all! Thanks for the information!
