Defective Products Law Practice

 - Child Stroller Injury Investigation -

Our law firm is investigating defects in double or single umbrella strollers that have caused fingertip amputations or laceration injuries to children.  We are accepting selected cases in this area.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC") has recently issued recall warnings for China-built Maclaren strollers based on reports of children's fingertips being amputated. The recall includes nine models of double or single umbrella strollers sold between 1999 and 2009: Easy Traveller, Twin Techno, Twin Triumph, TechnoXLR, Techno XT, Quest Mod, Quest Sport, Triumph, and Volo.

The reported injuries occurred when the children placed their fingers in the strollers' hinge mechanisms. As parents open or close the strollers, the unguarded hinges can cause deep lacerations, or even remove fingertips. The CPSC warns parents to immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact Maclaren USA to receive a free repair kit.

If a stroller, toy, or other children's product causes a fingertip amputation injury, laceration, or other serious personal injury to a child,  parents should seek immediate medical help first. Important next steps include preserving the defective product and contacting a children's injury product liability lawyer without delay. A child stroller injury caused by defective design, manufacturing defect, or failure to equip the product with warnings of a personal injury risk may support a products liability lawsuit. In most states, a parent or guardian may sue the manufacturer and/or seller on behalf of a child injured by a defective stroller or other product to recover medical costs and other compensation.
