Phil&teds USA Inc. of Fort Collins, CO, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, is voluntarily recalling 22,000 of its branded jogging strollers in the U.S and 7,200 sold into Canada because they pose a risk of finger amputation.
When folding and unfolding the stroller, a consumer's finger can become caught in the hinge mechanism, posing amputation and laceration hazards. Phil&teds has received three reports of incidents resulting in injuries to the adult users including a finger tip amputation and two reports of lacerations. This recall involves sport v2 and classic v1 model single-seat jogging strollers.
The strollers were made in China and sold by specialty juvenile stores nationwide from May 2008 through July 2010 for between $350 and $450.
