Graco Stroller Recall - Announcement

I received an email from walmart.com telling me that there has been recalls on Graco Children's Products, various Graco strollers that were purchased between August 2000 and November 2014.

This CPSC recall is due to the the folding hinge on the sides of the stroller can pinch a child's finger, posing a laceration or amputation hazard.

I figured I would share this with you all because this type of stroller and the list seems to be really popular, they sell these at Walmart and a lot of other location and I myself have one. And I believe my sister has one. Graco is offering a free repair kit to those who are affect

All models are a single-occupant stroller with an external sliding fold-lock hinge on each side and a one-hand fold release mechanism on the handle. Strollers with a manufacture date from August 1, 2000 to September 25, 2014 are included in the recall. Model numbers and the date of manufacture are printed on the white label located at the bottom of the stroller leg just above the rear wheel.

Here is the list provided inside my email

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.
