Let’s hope other manufacturers follow suit and perhaps the standard covering strollers could be amended to prevent future injuries. Similar injuries were reported with children’s folding chairs and a standard was developed to prevent the hazard.

Thanks, Nancy. That’s really some great information. My understanding in this case is that Maclaren was very eager to set an example and be the first stroller manufacturer to address the inherent hazards in the umbrella-fold design.

My only comment on your posting is to clarify ‘voluntary’ recalls. In fact, any recall you have read about over the past years is likely a ‘voluntary’ recall. CPSC rarely if ever does a mandatory recall because of the time and cost involved in going to court to get the company to do the recall. So ‘voluntary’ in no way signifies the seriousness or danger of the recall –simply that CPSC got the company (sometimes kicking and screaming) to remove the product from shelves or fix it, as in this case, without going through a legal process.
