Graco Recalls Baby Strollers | San Diego CA Child Injury Lawyer Attorn
Jan 23, 2010
Graco has announced the recall of certain Passage, Alano, and Spree strollers and travel systems after several children had suffered hurt fingers in the canopy hinge. The injuries resulted in the amputation of five fingertips and two lacerations according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Families were warned not to use the stroller until they received a free protective cover kit for the canopy from the company.
The Graco strollers were sold at a number of stores including Burlington Coat Factory, Walmart, Target, Sears, and Kmart between October 2004 and December 2009. Not all Graco strollers were recalled because they did not include the defective hinge. Please check this notice from the CPSC to make sure that your model number is on the recall list before acting.
In order to order a stroller hinge repair kit by calling Graco's consumer service line at 800-345-4109 or order online.

Jan 23, 2010
In the second majory recall of baby cribs in three months, Dorel Asia Cribs issued a recall of over 600,000 cribs due to threat of strangulation and suffocation. The cribs feature enough space for a child's head to become stuck and cause the airway to be cutoff, leading to death or serious brain injury.
Dorel cribs have been available in the United States since 2005.
Reportedly, at least one baby has died and at least six other babies have been injured by the Dorel cribs.
In November, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of Stork Craft cribs which affected over one million drop side cribs in the United States for the same reasons.
