Plain-English summary

Regal Lager Inc. is recalling Ruby, Onyx, and Topaz models of CYBEX umbrella strollers. The recall involves approximately 1,100 units sold in the United States and 90 units in Canada. The strollers were sold at department and juvenile product stores nationwide between August 2009 and November 2009 for between $140 and $260. The "CYBEX" brand name is printed on the side of the strollers.

The stroller's hinge mechanism poses a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is unfolding or opening the stroller. The firm has received one report of a child placing his finger in the stroller's hinge mechanism, resulting in a finger fracture.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact Regal Lager to receive a free hinge cover retrofit kit.
