Good for them for issuing the recall, but damn, you have to be pretty dumb to chop off your own child's finger while opening/closing their stroller.

No kidding.

There's a million things you can accidentally hurt your kids with if you don't pay attention. Recall them all! We can all walk around in foam and live in blow-up houses.

Why would your child have it's fingers anywhere near the stroller when you are opening or closing it? Seriously?

Prices for the strollers ranged from $100 to $360.


Holy hell. We got ours for $13. Pretty sure it was just as dangerous even though we never chopped off any of kiddos fingers with it.

When I read this I thought "How the hell is this happening?". I never once tried to open or close the stroller with the kid in it.

So we are recalling due to parental stupidity now?
