Approximately 4.7 million Graco and Century-branded strollers are being recalled because the folding hinges on the sides can pinch a child's finger. The recall affects 11 specific models: Aspen, Breeze, Capri, Cirrus, Glider, Kite, LiteRider, Sierra, Solara, Sterling, and TravelMate. Graco has received 11 reports of finger injuries, including six fingertip amputations and four partial amputations. These strollers were sold at Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, and online through Amazon.com from August 2000 through November 2014. Consumers should contact Graco immediately for a free repair kit.
The external sliding fold-lock hinge on the sides of the stroller can pinch a child's finger when the stroller is being folded or unfolded, or if it begins to fold unexpectedly. This poses a severe risk of deep lacerations or permanent fingertip amputation.
Contact Graco immediately for a free repair kit. Repair kits will be available from the firm at the beginning of December 2014. While waiting for a repair kit, caregivers should exercise extreme care when unfolding the stroller to be certain that the hinges are firmly locked before placing a child in the stroller. Caregivers are advised to immediately remove the child from a stroller that begins to fold to keep their fingers from the side hinge area.
