Maclaren Volo Stroller
The article reports that a side hinged mechanism poses the risk of cutting or amputating a child’s fingers when the stroller is being opened or closed. Maclaren is providing consumers and retailers free repair kits which will cover a joint on the faulty hinge mechanism. Contact Maclaren’s website or call toll-free at (877) 688-2326.
Oh my, that’s a serious recall.
Back in the day, my jogging stroller had a recall, but at least it didn’t involve possibly amputating a wee finger.
