What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (finger entrapment) where injury has not been explicitly reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical or unreported injury risks.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a voluntary repair program for approximately 49,000 Graco E-Z Roller baby strollers, specifically Models 6620 and 6020. These umbrella-type folding strollers were distributed nationally between January 1982 and April 1983. The strollers feature a blue denim seat, red handle grips, and a metal folding hinge.

The recall is due to the potential for infant finger entrapment in the main metal-folding hinge on each side of the stroller. Graco reported four incidents since January 1982 where children placed their fingers in the hinge while the stroller was being unfolded. The repair kit for this issue is no longer available.

Consumers should discard or destroy these products. Graco customer service can be reached toll-free at 1-800-345-4109, and the CPSC hotline is available at 800-638-CPSC.
