CBS reports Maclaren to recall one million strollers Tuesday due to danger

Fears of children getting fingers amputated sparks the major recall dating back to 1999

A stroller manufacturer is set to make a massive recall Tuesday over concerns children can have their fingertips cut off in a hinge.


Maclaren will recall all strollers dating back to 1999 - one million in total.

Twelve children who allegedly had their fingertips chopped off after getting caught in the hinge, sparked the recall, the newspaper reports.

"Stop using it immediately," CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton advises parents who own a Maclaren stroller.

Ashton, said the company plans to send parents a protective kit to place over the hinge.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which plans to announce the recall Tuesday, declined to comment.
