Regal Lager has recalled about 44,000 Phil and Teds
Strollers. The stroller's hinge lock mechanism poses a laceration hazard to the
user folding and unfolding the stroller.
This recall includes Phil & Teds e3 Single Buggy, e3
Twin Buggy and sport v1 Single Buggy Strollers. The recalled single strollers
all have metal frames with three wheels, a cloth seat and canopy. The twin
strollers have a metal frame with four wheels, side-by-side cloth seats and
double sun canopies. The strollers were sold in a variety of colors including
red, orange, green, black, charcoal and navy. The Phil & Teds logo is
located on the crotch piece of the harness. The strollers were made in China and sold
at baby furniture and baby products stores nationwide from August 2003 through
August 2008 for between $400 and $650.
Consumers should stop using the strollers immediately and
contact Regal Lager to obtain a free hinge cover repair kit and instructions.
