The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled about 44,000 Phil & Teds strollers because the hinge locking mechanism can cut users who are folding and unfolding the strollers.
Regal Lager Inc. of Kennesaw, Ga., has received nine reports from consumers who injured their fingers.
The recall covers the e3 Single Buggy, e3 Twin Buggy and sport v1 Single Buggy Strollers, which were sold at baby-product stores from August 2003 through August 2008 for between $400 and $650 US.
The single strollers have three wheels, a cloth seat and a canopy. The twin strollers have four wheels, side-by-side cloth seats and double canopies. The Phil & Teds logo is located on the crotch piece of the harness.
Consumers should call the company at (877) 242-5676 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to get a free hinge cover repair kit and instructions.
