What happened

Graco is recalling 11 stroller models because the folding hinges on the sides can pinch a child's finger, potentially causing lacerations or amputations. The affected models are the Aspen, Breeze, Capri, Cirrus, Glider, Kite, LiteRider, Sierra, Solara, Sterling, and TravelMate, manufactured between August 1, 2000 and September 25, 2014. You can identify whether your stroller is included by checking the white label at the bottom of the stroller leg just above the rear wheel for the manufacture date.

Consumers should contact Graco immediately for a free repair kit, which became available in early December 2014. Until receiving the kit, caregivers should exercise extreme care when unfolding the stroller to ensure the hinges are firmly locked before placing a child inside. If a stroller begins to fold unexpectedly, caregivers should immediately remove the child to prevent finger injuries near the side hinge area.

Hazard

The folding hinge on the sides of the stroller can pinch a child's finger, posing a laceration or amputation hazard.

What should I do?

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.
