As with the other strollers recalled, the stroller’s hinge mechanism poses a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is unfolding/opening the stroller. The company has received one report of a child breaking a finger in the hinge mechanism. The recalled Cybex strollers were sold at department and juvenile product stores nationwide between August 2009 and November 2009, for between $140 and $260.

The CPSC asks consumers to stop using the strollers immediately and contact Regal Lager to receive a free hinge cover retrofit kit. Consumers can contact the company at the Company Service Center at (800) 593-5522 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s Web site at www.regallager.com/recalls - consumers can also email the firm at info@regallager.com.

The CPSC still interested in receiving incident or injury reports that are either directly related to this product recall or involve a different hazard with the same product. Please tell the Commission about it by visiting https://www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/incident.aspx.
