Bicycle Child Carrier Seats Recalled For Laceration and Amputation Risk
About 40,000 bicycle child carrier seats were recently recalled due to a risk of laceration and amputation. The seats are called the Topeak seat and have been sold at a number of retail outlets including REI.
Apparently, a child can place his or her finger in the opening at the grab bar’s hinge mechanism. Then when the consumer lifts the grab bar to remove the child, the child’s fingertips can be caught posing a laceration or even amputation risk. There have been at least two reported incidents of serious injuries from this child seat.
