4.7 Million Graco Strollers Recalled Due To Amputation Risk

SOUTHFIED (CBS Detroit) - Federal safety officials are recalling 4.7 million strollers in the U.S. because of an "amputation hazard."

The folding strollers were manufactured by Graco between Aug. 1, 2000 and Sept. 25, 2014.

"Graco, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, announced a recall of certain strollers," says the company in an automated phone message. "The folding hinge on the sides of the stroller can pinch a child's finger, posing a laceration or amputation hazard."

The 11 recalled models are: Aspen, Breeze, Capri, Cirrus, Glider, Kite, LiteRider, Sierra, Solara, Sterling and TravelMate Model Strollers and Travel Systems.

The company is providing a free repair kit to customers who own the affected models.
