Baby Jogging Strollers Recalled

If you go jogging with your baby in a jogging stroller, you’ll want to be sure you’re not using a stroller being recalled because they pose a laceration and amputation hazard. Phil&teds is recalling nearly 22,000 jogging strollers, after noticing the consumer’s fingers could get caught in the hinge mechanism when folding and unfolding the stroller, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

“This recall involves sport v2 and classic v1 model single-seat jogging strollers. The three-wheel strollers have a metal frame, cloth seat and a canopy. The sport v2 model stroller was sold in red, orange, green, black, charcoal, navy and in graffiti print. Sport v2 serial numbers included in the recall are 0308/0001 to 0510/0840. The classic v1 model strollers were only sold in red. Serial numbers for the classic v1 are 0308/0001 to 0510/0906. The first four digits of the serial number is a month/year date code and the last four digits are for the individual stroller. Serial numbers are printed on the inside of the folding hinge. The phil&teds logo is located on the crotch piece of the harness on both models,” according to news reports.

As a North Charleston personal injury lawyer, I recommend consumers with this stroller to stop using the device until the problem is fixed. Consumers are advised to contact phil&teds USA to receive a free hinge-cover kit and repair instructions, according to the CPSC.

If you have been injured by a recalled product, contact a personal injury lawyer in North Charleston.
