RIDGE jogging strollers due to fingertip amputation hazard; One injury to child reported

UPPAbaby is recalling about 14,400 all-terrain RIDGE jogging strollers due to fingertip amputation hazard.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 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.

This recall involves 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.  The brand UPPAbaby is on the front of the stroller, and RIDGE is on the side of the stroller frame. The strollers have a black frame and a fabric color scheme that is white (“BRYCE”), charcoal (“JAKE”), or slate blue (“REGGIE”) and have black tires. The serial numbers of the recalled products begin with “1401RDGUS” and appear on the right side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller. The model number “1401-RDG-US” is printed on the left side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact UPPAbaby to receive free replacement brake discs for both wheels.

The strollers were sold at BuyBuyBaby, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn Kids and other children’s stores and specialty stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from October 2021 through August 2022 for about $600.

Consumers can contact UPPAbaby toll-free at 1-844-823-3132 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email support@uppababy.com or online at www.uppababy.com/ridge/disc-brakes/ and click on “Submit Info” at the bottom of the page or go to www.uppababy.com and click on “Click to read more” next to the recall announcement.
