Plain-English summary
Graco Children's Products, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the New York State Attorney General's Office, announced a recall for certain Graco strollers sold before June 1989. The affected models include the Travel-Mate, Stroll-A-Bed, Elite, Brougham, Regency, Regency Ltd. Premier, and Premier Ltd. The exposed recline brackets on these strollers present a hazard to children who place their fingers in the mechanism when the seat is raised.
The recall is associated with six incidents of children's fingertip laceration or amputation and one incident of a fractured thumb. Approximately one million of these strollers are believed to be in use by consumers. Only strollers with uncovered recline brackets are involved in this recall.
Owners of Graco brand strollers are advised to immediately check to see if the recline mechanism on both sides of their stroller is covered. If the mechanism is not covered, consumers are instructed to discard or destroy the product. Retrofit kits are no longer available. Further information can be obtained by writing to Graco Children's Products, Inc., P.O. Box 303, Elverson, PA 19520, or calling (800) 345-4109.
