Maclaren Volo

It's not yet official, but the news has been leaked to New York's Daily News and was on CBS News this morning. Maclaren, in cooperation with the Consumer Products Safety Commission, is poised to recall every umbrella stroller it's made since 1999 -- more than a million models -- including several of the strollers recommended in our reports on umbrella strollers and double strollers.

According to the Daily News, 12 children allegedly suffered amputated fingertips when their fingers were caught in one of the stroller's hinges. Maclaren will send consumers guards for the hinges, which should correct the danger.
