Thousands of UPPAbaby jogging strollers were recalled following a single report of a child’s fingertip being amputated in its brake system.
It includes 14,400 UPPAbaby All-Terrain RIDGE Jogging Strollers manufactured between July 2021 and August 2022. These could have been sold at BuyBuyBaby, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn Kids, Amazon, Neiman Marcus, and other children’s stores for about $600.
“The stroller’s rear disc brakes have openings that can cause amputation or laceration if a non-occupant child’s fingertip gets caught in the openings while the stroller is in use,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission explained on its website.

“Our top priority at UPPAbaby is the safety of children. We conduct extensive testing to ensure UPPAbaby products meet all global industry and regulatory standards. Despite passing all tests and meeting all standards, UPPAbaby received one report about the all-terrain RIDGE stroller,” the company said in a statement.
“Based on one consumer report to us, we believe the injury is likely due to consumer misuse,” it added. “The RIDGE’s disc brakes have openings that can cause amputation or laceration if a non-occupant child’s fingertip gets caught in the openings while the stroller is in use.”

Those who have the stroller can receive free replacement disc brakes that can be added to both wheels of their existing stroller to prevent the danger of amputation.
