Reuters announced recently that nearly 30,000 jogging strollers have been recalled throughout the United States and Canada. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, certain models of jogging strollers pose risk of amputation.

The recall follows two incidents of lacerations and one incident of finger tip amputation and includes:

• sport v2 single-seat jogging strollers with serial numbers 0308/0001 to 0510/0840
• classic v1 model single-seat jogging strollers with serial numbers 0308/0001 to 0510/0906

Baby gear maker Graco is recalling about 2 million strollers after receiving reports that four infants died in the strollers.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the recall Wednesday, said the four infants became trapped inside the strollers and were strangled. The deaths occurred between 2003 and 2005.

The strollers being recalled are older versions of the Graco Quattro Tour and MetroLite strollers and travel systems, all made before 2007 and distributed by Graco Children's Products Inc. of Atlanta.
CPSC says if babies aren't strapped into the strollers properly, they can slide through the opening between the stroller tray and bottom of the seat — where they can get stuck and be strangled. The commission also said it was aware of five reports of infants becoming trapped, resulting in cuts and bruises, and one report of an infant having difficulty breathing.

The recalled strollers were made before the development in 2008 of a voluntary standard that requires a larger stroller opening between the stroller's tray and seat bottom in order to prevent entrapment and strangulation. The recalled strollers were sold at retailers nationwide between November 2000 and December 2007.

If you have a recalled stroller, contact Graco at 877-828-4046 or visit the company's website for a free repair kit. The strollers can continue to be used with an infant car seat as a travel system since the entrapment and strangulation hazards caused by the space gap aren't present.

About 3,700 Zooper strollers have been recalled for a frame latch failure that can result in the high-end stroller unexpectedly collapsing, federal safety official announced Thursday.

The Zooper Tango double strollers were sold in 2007 and 2008 at retailers including Babies “R” Us. Lan Enterprises, the manufacturer of the stroller, has received 185 reports of the problem, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. In one incident, a 13-month-old boy and a 3-year-old boy received scrapes and bruises when their stroller hit a sidewalk curb and then collapsed. The CPSC said owners of the SL808B and SL808F models should stop using the strollers and contact Zooper USA or visit its website, zooper.com, for a repair kit.
