36K Kolcraft strollers recalled

Contours Options three- and four-wheeled strollers manufactured by Kolcraft Enterprises Inc. of Chicago, Ill. are being recalled. They were sold at juvenile product specialty stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Target.com and ToysRUs.com from January 2006 to June 2012. The three- and four-wheeled strollers have the model number and date of manufacture printed on a label sewn into the edge of back of the seat pad. The strollers were sold in various color schemes. They were manufactured in China.

A child or consumer's finger can become caught in the opening formed when locking and unlocking the hinge mechanism which is used to adjust the handlebars on the strollers. This poses an amputation and laceration hazard to children and the adults handling the stroller.

Kolcraft and CPSC have received five reports of injuries involving the hinge mechanism, including reports of three children whose fingertips were amputated and two adults whose fingers were either smashed or lacerated.

About 36,000 strollers are being recalled in the United States and 270 in Canada.
