QUOTE US authorities have announced a recall of a million baby strollers made by UK's Maclaren, saying they posed a risk of "fingertip amputation" to young children. taken from the OP's link... I still cant find anything from Australian authorities... I hope not cos I have one of these!!!

I have just read this article in today's SMH. Maclaren are recalling millions of strollers in the US produced from 1999 on. It seems that the folding mechanism has amputated the fingers of 12 children hence the recall. If you're purchased a Maclaren from the US you may be interested in this article. http://www.smh.com.au/world/one-million-st...91110-i5x3.html
