Phil & Teds Strollers Recalled

August 28, 2008
About 44,000 Phil & Teds strollers are being recalled. The recall affects Phil & Teds e3 Single Buggy, e3 Twin Buggy and sport v1 Single Buggy Strollers (an additional 425 e3 Twin Buggy Strollers were recalled on May 5, 2006).

The stroller’s hinge locking mechanism poses a laceration hazard to the user folding and unfolding the strollers

Regal Lager has received nine reports from consumers who injured their fingers in the stroller’s hinge locking mechanism.

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, made in China, were 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.
