WASHINGTON, D.C (January 20, 2010). In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Graco Childrens Products is voluntarily recalling about 1.5 million strollers. The recall includes certain models of the Graco Passage, Alano and Spree Strollers and travel systems.
The hinges on the strollers canopy pose a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is opening or closing the canopy. Graco has received seven reports of children placing their fingers in the strollers canopy hinge mechanism, including five fingertip amputations and two lacerations.
CPSCs video news release includes soundbites from CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum, Spanish spokesperson Arlene Flecha, and b-roll of the recalled Graco stroller.

Graco manufactured two different styles of hinge mechanisms for these stroller models. Only strollers or travel systems with a plastic, jointed hinge mechanism that has indented canopy positioning notches (see photo below) are included in this recall. The recalled strollers were manufactured between October 2004 and February 2008. The model number and manufacture date are located on the lower inside portion of the rear frame, just above the rear wheels.
