Washington - Graco's Children Products Inc. announced Wednesday it is recalling 1.5 million strollers due to fingertip amputation and laceration hazards. The following stroller models are included in the recall: — Graco's Passage; — Alano; — Spree Strollers and Travel Systems According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the hinges on the stroller's canopy pose a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to children when a consumer is opening or closing the canopy. Graco has received seven reports of children placing their fingers in the stroller's canopy hinge mechanism while the canopy was being opened or closed, according to the CPSC's news release . This has resulted in five fingertip amputations and two fingertip lacerations.
