Two models of Phil & Teds strollers are being recalled because of the risk of fingers getting caught and possibly cut, even losing a fingertip.

The recall was announced Friday by Health Canada and the New Zealand manufacturer, phil&teds.

There is a danger of someone losing a fingertip or being cut when the stroller is folded or unfolded, Health Canada said.   “A risk of finger amputation”?  Ouch!

The company received complaints of three people catching their fingers in the stroller hinge in the U.S., and another six complaints worldwide.

So far there hasn’t been any reported accidents in Canada where more than 7,200 of the strollers have been sold. The recalled models are the Sport v2 and Classic v1. They are described as foldable, three-wheel strollers with a metal frame and cloth seat.

The V1 Classic was sold with a red seat only and has serial numbers 0308/0001 to 0510/0906 on the inside of the folding hinge.

The V2 Sport was sold in red, orange, green, black, charcoal, navy, and a graffiti print, and has serial numbers 0308/0001 to 0510/0840 on the inside of the hinge.

The manufacturer is offering those consumers a free hinge cover for their strollers.  You can order the hinge cover by calling 1-877-432-1642 or visiting Phil & Teds website.
