About 29,400 Qbit strollers are being recalled because a gap in the stroller’s folding side hinge can pinch a caregiver’s hand during unfolding, posing a laceration hazard.
The company has received five reports of consumers being pinched by the stroller hinge mechanism; four of them needing stitches for cuts. In addition, there were reports of the stroller unexpectedly folding, resulting in minor bumps or bruises.
The strollers were sold at Babies R US and other retail stores and online from May 2015 through November 2016 for about $180.
