Save Your Kid’s Fingers

A million Chinese-made buggies have been recalled from the US market following several reports of children’s fingertips being sliced off

Parents of toddlers, beware of which stroller you are using. Maclaren, the popular British stroller company, has recalled about a million Chinese-made buggies from the US market following several reports of children’s fingertips being sliced off after being caught in the hinge mechanism. In India, these strollers are still being sold through Mothercare outlets in Shoppers’ Stop department stores. Shoppers’ Stop representatives said they hadn’t been informed about the product recall. Maclaren’s local representative also admitted they were in the dark. “We have not heard anything so far,” said manager Girija Ramachandran.
