The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on Thursday that UPPAbaby is recalling thousands of its jogging strollers after a child’s finger was lacerated by a stroller’s braking component, resulting in fingertip amputation.
The specific stroller being recalled is UPPAbaby’s all-terrain RIDGE jogging stroller, which is manufactured in China, according to the CPSC.
The recall affects models with the serial number beginning with 1401RDGUS, roughly 14,400 strollers. The serial numbers can be found on the right side of the stroller above the rear wheel.
The strollers have openings in the rear disc brakes, which caught the fingers of a child who was not seated in the stroller. Part of the child’s fingertip was consequently amputated.
The strollers were sold at children’s specialty stores, Amazon, BuyBuyBaby, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Pottery Barn Kids, for roughly $600 since October 2021.
If you own this product, contact UPPAbaby to receive replacement brakes at (844) 823-3132 from 9 am to 5 pm, by email at [email protected], or submit your purchase information at their website.    Â
