Graco Stroller Recall List 2014 - On Thursday, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC) announced Graco Children's Product has recalled almost 4.7 million strollers in the United States due to a threat for fingertip amputation. The recall also affects over 212,000 strollers in Mexico and Canada.

According to the federal officials, Graco has recalled the strollers after it received reports of 10 full or partial fingertip amputation and one laceration. CNN reported that eleven models of strollers have been included in the recall list this 2014.

The commission also advised caregivers about the dangers of unfolding the stroller.

"Extreme care when unfolding the stroller to be certain that the hinges are firmly locked before placing a child in the stroller," USCPSC said. "Caregivers are advised to immediately remove the child from a stroller that begins to fold to keep their fingers from the side hinge area."

Early next month, Graco will offer a repair kit to owners. Temporarily, the USCPSC has urged users to be cautious and ensure that the hinges are firmly locked after unfolding the stroller, as reported by Syracuse.com.

The Graco stroller recall list 2014 include models such as Aspen, Breeze, Capri, Cirrus, Glider, Kite, LiteRider, Sierra, Solara, Sterling and TravelMate model strollers and travel systems.

The models bear a manufacture date from Aug. 1, 2000 to Sept. 25, 2014. NBC News reported that affected models in the 2014 Graco stroller recall list were sold at Target, Toys 'R' Us, Walmart and other retailers nationwide for about $40 to $70 for the stroller and about $140 to $170 for the travel system. The strollers were also sold online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com and other online retailers.

Based on the current federal law, there is no minimum effort that manufacturers have to make, or money they have to spend, to disseminate information about the safety recalls, as stated by ABC News. And Graco said the recall was voluntary.

"Over the past 60 years, safety has been and will continue to be the priority at Graco," the company said on its website. "As part of our continuous effort to provide quality and safe products, Graco identified that select stroller models, including some of our LiteRider models that were sold before the updated hinge was available, have folding hinges that could in rare circumstances have the potential to pinch a child's finger, posing a laceration or amputation hazard."

Aside from the Graco stroller recall list 2014, the company had also recalled 4 million car seats this year because children could be trapped by the buckles.
