Maclaren is voluntarily recalling 1 million single and double umbrella strollers sold in the U.S. between 1999 and November, 2009 after 12 reports of a child's fingertip being cut off by a hinge.

The models affected by this recall are: Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, Techno XLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno, and Easy Traveller.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said, "The stroller's hinge mechanism poses a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is unfolding/opening the stroller". Consumers should immediately stop using these strollers and contact Maclaren USA to receive a free repair kit.
