1.5 million strollers in the US, and 28,000 in Canada are being recalled after seven children lost their fingertips in the stroller's canopy hinge mechanism.
The Passage, Alano, and Spree models were all included in the recall. It only affects those models where there is a plastic jointed hinge mechanism with indented canopy positioning notches. They were sold starting in October 2004 and have been sold right up to the present.
Consumers are advised by Health Canada to either stop using the recalled brands or use caution when opening or closing the stroller and to ensure that children are at a safe distance when doing so.
Owners can get a free hinge cover from Elfe Juvenile Products by calling 1-800-667-8184 or sending an email to service@elfe.ca.
