Mockingbird recalls nearly 150,000 single-to-double strollers due to fall hazard

Mockingbird has recalled nearly 150,000 of its single-to-double strollers after receiving reports from consumers about cracks developing in the frame, "posing a fall risk to children in the stroller."
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the affected strollers were sold between March 2020 to September 2022 for around $400.
"The firm has received 138 reports of cracks in the frame, including eight injuries involving cuts, scratches or bruising to children in the strollers," it said in a recall page.
"Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Single-to-Double strollers and contact Mockingbird to receive a free frame reinforcement kit, which includes two frame clamps that attach to the sides of the stroller to reinforce the frame," it added. "Mockingbird is contacting all known purchasers directly."
