Jan. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Newell Rubbermaid Inc. is recalling 1.5 million strollers after reports of children’s fingertips getting caught in the products’ hinges, resulting in cuts and amputations, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

Newell Rubbermaid’s Graco unit received reports of five amputations and two lacerations after children placed their fingers in the strollers’ hinges while the canopy was being opened or closed, the agency said. The commission announced the voluntary recall today in a statement on its Web site.

The recall covers those Graco Passage, Alano and Spree strollers and travel systems with a plastic, jointed hinge mechanism that has indented canopy positioning notches, the agency said.

The products were sold at retailers including Wal-Mart Stores Inc.,Target Corp. and Toys “R” Us Inc. from October 2004 and December 2009, the agency said.
