A hinge on the side of the stroller can pinch a baby’s finger, according to federal officials; Graco received 11 reports of fingertip amputation, partial-fingertip amputation and finger laceration. The company is reaching out to parents to contact it for a free repair kit to be shipped next month that includes hinge covers. In the meantime, the company advised parents to exercise caution: “While waiting for a repair kit, caregivers should exercise extreme care when unfolding the stroller to be certain that the hinges are firmly locked before placing a child in the stroller. Caregivers are advised to immediately remove the child from a stroller that begins to fold to keep their fingers from the side hinge area.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3598239/graco-strollers-5-million/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3598239/graco-strollers-5-million/"},"headline":"5 Million Strollers Recalled After Fingertip Amputations","datePublished":"2014-11-20T20:12:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:20.538Z","description":"The company received 11 reports of fingertip amputation, partial-fingertip amputation and finger laceration on faulty hinges","url":"https://time.com/3598239/graco-strollers-5-million/","keywords":["Living","Parenting","Companies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3598239/graco-strollers-5-million/","name":"5 Million Strollers Recalled After Fingertip Amputations"}}]}] ```
