Britax Strollers Put Babies at Risk in New York

Is the stroller that you push your baby around in putting him or her at risk of losing a finger or suffering a laceration? If the manufacturer of that stroller is Britax then your baby may be in harm’s way.

As a matter of fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recently announced a voluntary recall of the Britax “Blink” umbrella stroller. Though, no injuries have been reported, it is believed that the stroller’s hinge mechanism may cause a potential finger amputation or laceration.

If you or someone you know owns this product you are strongly encouraged to stop using the stroller until you contact the manufacturer. The good news is that you won’t have to throw away the stroller. Britax will send you free stroller hinge covers.

It is important to note that Britax is cooperating with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to help resolve this issue. For more information you may contact Britax directly at (888) 427-4829 or you may visit their website at www.blinkrecall.com.

If you or someone you know has been injured by a defective or recalled product, you should contact a Long Island personal injury attorney at the Law Offices of Rappaport, Glass, Greene and Levine at (800) 734-9445.
