Joint Recall with Health Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) and Kolcraft Enterprises Inc.
Full Product Description
This recall involves certain Kolcraft Contours Options three- and four-wheeled strollers.
Strollers included in the recall have model numbers starting with ZL002, ZL005, ZL008, ZL015 and ZL018. On the ZL002 model, the model number and date of manufacture is printed on a sticker above the left wheel. On the ZL005, ZL008, ZL015 and ZL018 models, the model number and date of manufacture is printed on a label sewn into the edge of back of the stroller seat pad. The strollers were manufactured from January 2006 through November 2009 and sold in various colour schemes.
Hazard Identified
A child or adult's finger can become caught in the opening that is
formed when locking and unlocking the hinge mechanism which is used to
adjust the handlebars on the strollers. This poses a potential
amputation and laceration hazard to the child or adult.
Kolcraft has received five reports in the United States of injuries involving the hinge mechanism, including three reports of children whose fingertips were amputated and two adults whose fingers were either smashed or lacerated.
Neither Health Canada nor Kolcraft has received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
