CYBEX STROLLERS PRODUCT OF U.S. AND CANADA TWO-NATION PRODUCT RECALL

From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Brooklyn Queens Bronx; Bronx Injury Lawyer)

In an unusual joint product recall the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada announced a recall of CYBEX brand Strollers, because they can cause amputation and cutting or laceration of a child's small fingers and hands.

About 1100 of these strollers are being recalled in the U.S., and about 90 in Canada. They are distributed by Regal Lager Inc., of Kennesaw, Georgia.

The hazard or danger is that the stroller's hinge mechanism can catch a child's finger when the user is unfolding or opening the stroller.

There has been one reported case of a child accidentally fracturing or breaking his finger when it caught in the stroller's hinge mechanism.

This recall covers Ruby, Onyx and Topaz models of CYBEX umbrella strollers. The side of the strollers has printed on it the word "CYBEX." The stroller, manufactured in China, was sold at children's and department store last year for about $200.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact the distributor to receive a kit to correct the problem.
