Graco Recalls 1.5 Million Strollers

If you have a Graco Passage, Alano or Spree stroller (or travel system) around the house, keep your fingers away from the canopy hinges and check out this new recall. According to CPSC, Graco received seven reports of a child putting their fingers in the canopy hinge when it was being opened or closed, which resulted in five fingertip amputations and two lacerations.
This recall affects 1.5 million Graco strollers. However, the Passage, Alano and Spree strollers were manufactured with two different hinge styles, so take a look at the canopy hinges first. If your stroller has a plastic hinge with indented notches for canopy positioning, it may be included in this Graco stroller recall. Other canopy hinge types are not included.
This Graco stroller recall affects models that were manufactured between Oct. 2004 and Feb. 2008. You can find the manufacture date and model number on the lower, inside portion of the rear frame, just above the back wheels. These strollers were sold at many department and discount stores, including Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, Burlington Coat Factory and Sears.
