Phil&teds USA Inc. of Fort Collins, CO is voluntarily recalling 22,000 of its branded jogging strollers in the United States and 7,200 sold into Canada because they pose a risk of finger amputation, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada reported.
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 three-wheel strollers have a metal frame, cloth seat and a canopy. The phil&teds logo is located on the crotch piece of the harness on both models.
The strollers were made in China and sold by specialty juvenile stores nationwide from May 2008 through July 2010 for between $350 and $450.
