UPPAbaby is recalling around 14,000 strollers after one child experienced a fingertip amputation from the rear disk brake.

The company recall covers all UPPAbaby all-terrain RIDGE jogging strollers, which have an extendable canopy with a mesh window and zipper pocket, disc hand brake system and an adjustable handlebar with a wrist strap.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the product was sold by BuyBuyBaby, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn Kids and other children’s stores nationwide, as well as online on Amazon from October 2021 through August 2022 for about $600.

The model number 1401-RDG-US is printed on the left side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller.

CPSC stated the stroller has rear disc brakes with openings. These can lead to an amputation or laceration if a child is not sitting in the stroller and they get their fingertip caught while the stroller is being used, according to CPSC.

If you find that you have this stroller, CPSC suggests you stop using it and contact UPPAbaby to receive free replacement brake discs for both wheels.

You can reach UPPAbaby at 844-823-3132 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
