Author: Extra UK | Mon, 16 Apr 2012

Topeak has announced a safety recall for the Topeak Babyseat II. 

If a child places his or her fingers in the opening at the grab bar’s hinge mechanism and the consumer (parent or guardian) lifts the grab bar to remove the child from the seat, the child’s fingertips can be caught in the hinge mechanism. If this occurs there is a possibility of a laceration and fingertip crushing hazard to the child.
