Recall Details
WASHINGTON, DC -- Graco Children's Products, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the New York State Attorney General's Office, reports that certain models of Graco strollers sold before June of 1989 have been associated with six incidents of children's fingertip laceration or amputation and one incident of a fractured thumb. The exposed recline brackets of these strollers may present this type of hazard to children who place their fingers in the mechanism when the seat is raised by the parent or others.
Graco strollers designated by the model names Travel-Mate, Stroll-A-Bed, Elite, Brougham, Regency, Regency Ltd. Premier, and Premier Ltd. may be involved if they were manufactured before June 1989. Approximately one million of these strollers are believed to be in use by consumers. Only those strollers with uncovered recline brackets are involved.
The retrofit kits are no longer available. All owners of Graco brand strollers are advised to immediately check to see if the recline mechanism on both sides of their stroller is covered. If the mechanism is not covered, please discard or destroy the product.

The recalled baby nests violate the safety requirements of CPSC’s Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products, posing a suffocation risk and fall and entrapment hazards to infants. The failures include not having a stand and not meeting the requirements for side height, sleeping pad thickness, and fabric-sided openings. The product’s sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped.
Additionally, the baby nest designs with head pillows violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021’s ban on inclined sleepers for infants because their sleep surfaces are inclined greater than ten degrees. Infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers, after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances.
Infants can suffocate if they roll or move on the crib bumper in a position that obstructs breathing. Padded crib bumpers are banned under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
