STROLLERS About one million Maclaren single and double umbrella strollers sold prior to November 2009 at juvenile product and mass merchandise retailers nationwide from 1999 through November 2009 for between $100 and $360.

These reported injuries include five additional fingertip amputations, 16 additional lacerations and 16 additional fingertip entrapments/bruising. At the time of the original recall, there were 15 incidents, including 12 reports of fingertip amputations in the United States.
