Kolcraft Enterprises is voluntary recalling approximately 36,000 of its Contours Options three- and four-wheeled strollers sold in the United States and 270 sold in Canada.

The recall states a child or consumer's finger can become caught in the opening formed when locking and unlocking the hinge mechanism used to adjust the handlebars, posing an amputation and laceration to the child.

The company has received five reports of injuries, including reports of three kids whose fingertips were amputated.

Consumers are being asked to stop using the stroller immediately and to contact the company for a free repair kit.
