How To Claim A Maclaren Strollers Recall

Over one million Maclaren strollers were sold to parents around the United States before it came to light that these strollers were dangerous. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced in 2009 that the stroller's hinge can cause amputation of children's fingers. By the time the strollers were recalled, at least 12 children had lost fingers in these strollers.

If you purchased a Maclaren stroller, you are eligible to file a claim for a recall. However, after the company declared bankruptcy in 2012, this process became more difficult. Below, we'll go into how you can . We'll also explain how we can help make the process simpler and easier for you with our quick and easy recall claims process.

Contact Maclaren	While they no longer have a dedicated space on their website for dealing with recall claims, you can still contact Maclaren by calling (203) 354-4400 any time between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. You can also visit the Maclaren website to chat with a customer service member who can help you get your claim started.
Receive Your Free Hinge Cover	The solution Maclaren created to cover their mistake was a hinge cover you could put on your stroller. This cover is supposed to protect your baby's little fingers from getting caught in the hinge when you're opening or closing the stroller. They should send you this cover when you make a recall claim. If you prefer to return your stroller or get a refund, you will need to let them know.
Contact CPSC	If your child was injured in a stroller, you can report this fact to the CPSC. According to the commission, at least 149 claims of injury have been made since the initial recall in 2009. Strollers manufactured after 2010 were crafted with a different design, so only reports on strollers created before that time can be considered in this specific Maclaren strollers recall (recall number 11-222).

What Happened with the Maclaren Strollers Recall?

By 2012, at least 20 incidents of amputations or near-amputations had been reported by parents. Several families filed lawsuits against the company in an attempt to recover compensation for losses their children sustained. In 2012, when Maclaren USA (by then known as American Baby Products) announced its bankruptcy, Maclaren Europe Limited announced it would take responsibility for any further claims and lawsuits filed against the company.

A former designer for the company, David Netto, also filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming they had misled him about their intentions to file bankruptcy. Overall, the company had a pretty rough few years.

While the process of getting a recall seems straightforward, it can be a bit of a challenge to contact the right people. Since the incident was so many years ago, there likely aren't many of the same people involved in claims processes anymore. Before you call, make sure you have all the relevant information from your claim and are sure that your stroller was created before 2010.
