Pottery Barn recalls about 21,000 doll strollers for safety hazard

Pottery Barn is recalling about 21,000 doll strollers because children's fingers can become caught in clips and hinges on the toys, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday.
The Oregon-based company has received three reports of serious cuts, including one incident in which a toddler's finger was partially severed.
Parents are being advised to remove the Mini Zooper doll stroller from children and contact the company for a free repair kit.
The strollers were sold in Pottery Barn stores in the U.S. and from its catalogue and website from October 2005 through June 2007 for about $50 US. The strollers were also sold at Pottery Barn stores in Toronto.
