Graco Recalls 1.5 Million Strollers
Baby strollers are a staple for any parents who want their child to be mobile. One of the leading manufacturers of baby strollers for years has been Graco, as the company has sold millions of different strollers all across the world. Unfortunately for many parents and children, Graco has recently announced that it is recalling approximately 1.5 million baby strollers due to a dangerous defect on these products. There have already been several reports of serious injuries, and baby stroller recall lawyers have been getting involved to help. Below is an overview of the issue.
The Graco Baby Stroller Recall Models Affected
The 1.5 million Graco baby strollers recalled are sold under the brand names of the Graco Passage, Alano and Spree Strollers. Consumers who own a Graco baby stroller are encouraged to look at the rear inside panel of their unit just above the rear wheels in order to find their model number. Those model numbers recalled include:
6303MYC, 6303MYC3, 6320IVY, 6320LAU, 6330CAP, 6330THR, 6330THR3, 6F00QIN3, 6F00RRY3, 6F03GLN3, 6G10CSE3, 7235GGA, 7235GGA2, 7236CDR2, 7237HOL2, 7237HOL3, 7240DNB, 7240DNB2, 7240MKL2, 7240MKL3, 7241DDH2, 7241DHO3, 7255CLP, 7255CLP2, 7255CRA2, 7255CRA3, 7255CSA3, 7255GPK3, 7255GRN, 7255GRN2, 7255JJB3, 7255ORC2, 7255WLO2, 7255WLO3, 7256CLO2, 7256SPM2, 7256SPM3, 7260BAN, 7260BAN2, 7260BAN3, 7260MRA2, 7260MRA3, 7260PKR, 7260PKR2, 7270BIA, 7270BIA2, 7E01JON2, 7E01JON3, 7F00LPE3, 7F00RSH3, 7F01FOR3, 7F02GLM3, 7F04TAY3, 7F07EMA3, 7F08DSW3, 7F08LAN3, 7G00DLS3, 7G00DLS4, 7G01CRL3, 7G04KRA3, 7G05GPR3, 7G06WSR3, 7G07ABB3, 7G07BAT3.
The Proposed Solution to the Graco Baby Stroller Recall
Graco has responded to this development by encouraging people who own a defective baby stroller to contact the company to obtain a repair kit for the defective part that’s been identified. The defective part concerns the moving hinge that allows the canopy on these units to be adjusted, and this hinge is exposed. As a result, two children have suffered deep finger lacerations when they touched the hinge while the canopy was being adjusted, and five children suffered severed fingers due to the same problem.
Why Graco’s Recall Solution Could be Problematic
Asking consumers to obtain their own repair kit to cover the exposed hinge could be problematic for consumers for two reasons:
1. It leaves it up to the parent or owner to properly attach the cover to this dangerous hinge; and
2. It could actually limit the liability of Graco if someone is injured after the defective hinge has been covered.
Therefore, if you or someone you love has been injured by a defective Graco baby stroller, you need to contact the baby stroller recall lawyers at the Phillips National Injury Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.
