(ABC News) – More than 14,000 strollers are being recalled due to an issue that can cause amputation or laceration if a child’s fingertips get caught.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Thursday, said the recall impacts UPPAbaby All-Terrain RIDGE Jogging Stroller’s – which were sold at BuyBuyBaby, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn Kids as well as online on Amazon.
According to the notice, the stroller’s rear disc brakes have openings that can harm a non-occupant child’s fingers if they get caught in the opening while the stroller is in use.
The CPSC said it was aware of at least one incident resulting in a fingertip amputation to a child who was not in the stroller while it was being used.
The serial numbers of the recalled products begin with “1401RDGUS” and appear on the right side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller.
The model number “1401-RDG-US” is printed on the left side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller.
Consumers are advised to “immediately” stop using the recalled strollers and contact UPPAbaby to receive free replacement brake discs for both wheels.
