The recall covers more than one million Maclaren umbrella stroller products sold in the U.S. since 1999. Double stroller models include the Twin Triumph, Twin Techno and Easy Traveller. There have been fifteen reported incidents of children receiving finger injuries from the strollers, resulting in twelve cases of amputated fingertips. The hinge mechanism can be hazardous to little fingers when the product is being folded or unfolded.


Contact Maclaren to receive a free repair kit with a hinge cover. Call the Maclaren Recall Hotline at (877) 688-2326 or visit the website at www.maclaren.us/recall.
