A million Maclaren strollers sold by Target and Babies "R" Us were recalled yesterday. There were 12 reports of children having their fingertips amputated by a hinge mechanism in the stroller. The recall includes several different models of the stroller. The danger is present when the stroller is being opened because an opening where the child could stick their finger and have it amputated. The companys is offering freee hinge covers to prevent future incidents.
Critique
The article is brief and concise and is lacking in emotion. It is an emotional subject when a child has their finger chopped off. By using the word amputated, the story seems critical and dispassionate. It does not seem to capture the severity of the strollers damage to the childs fingers.
