Maclaren’s has issued a recall on every umbrella stroller it has sold over the past decade.  The strollers passed federal safety inspections, but the stroller are being recalled because of Maclaren’s commitment to safety.  This involves well over a million strollers.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission will look into further standards or recalls as needed for stroller hinges.  Other stroller manufacturers have based their hinge design on the Maclaren design and have had safety reports, but have not had amputations that are attributed to the Maclaren design.

Regardless of the recall of strollers, or the safety of the hinges, it warns us to keep the children away when the equipment is being set up.  We must keep our children under watch at all times.  Surely in the past twenty years many children have not been hurt by these strollers.
