The slogan on the Maclaren Global website reads "what a mother wants, what a baby needs".  I highly doubt that an amputated finger of your precious little angel fits this motto. 

Today, Release # 10-033 from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, states that approximately one million Maclaren baby strollers are being voluntarily recalled. 

The recall notice reports that the stroller's hazardous hinge mechanism poses a risk for fingertip amputation and laceration to the child when the consumer is unfolding/opening the stroller ~ not exactly what a mother wants or what a baby needs.

These popular and high-end priced strollers were available for purchase at Target and Babies "R" Us stores located in the Houston area, as well as other states nationwide.  Consumers are advised to stop using the stroller and contact Maclaren for a free repair kit. 

For additional information, contact Maclaren USA toll-free at (877) 688-2326, or visit Maclaren.
