really, maclaren?

I just saw this recall report on the evening news. A recall on ALL Maclaren strollers from 1999-2009? How is that even possible?! And how is it that this recall took 10 years to go into effect?

The fact that they use the term "amputated fingertips" as the reason for this massive recall is very unsettling. And if these hinge caps fix the problem, why didn't you install them on your strollers after the first report of an "amputated fingertip" was reported to you, Maclaren? I'm sure that had to have happened earlier than 2009 if you're recalling all your strollers. Ugh.

We have this stroller for when baby is 6+months. It's still in the box. Return it or get these stupid hinge caps?
