Graco strollers have been recalled due to several incidents in which children have lost their fingertips. Graco issued the recall in conjunction with the Consumer Products Safety Commission after receiving reports of seven children suffering lacerations to their fingers. The accidents happened when the children's fingers got caught in the canopy of the stroller as it was being opened or closed. Five of the children had their fingertips severed, while two others suffered deep cuts. The recall includes Graco's Passage, Alano and Spree Strollers sold between October 2004 and December 2009.

Icy Roads Pose Hazards to GA Drivers
Icy conditions are posing serious hazards to drivers on Georgia's roads, according to various news reports. One Bartow County deputy was injured in a crash involving a tractor trailer on Friday. He was treated at Cartersville Medical Center and later released. In another incident, two Cobb County deputies were uninjured when their vehicle spun out of control and landed in a marsh. Georgia state patrol officers cited slick, icy roads as a factor in both crashes.
Low visibility and icy roads create hazards to drivers in the winter months. To avoid accidents in inclement weather, motorists should employ the following precautions:
- Because it takes more space to stop a vehicle on icy roads, drivers should leave extra room between their car and the vehicle in front of them.
- Motorists should drive with their headlights on at all times to increase their vehicle’s visibility to other drivers on the road.
- Drivers should slow down when crossing bridges or overpasses, as these areas will be icy even when other areas of the road are not.
- Motorists should clear snow and ice from their windshield, back window, driver and passenger windows, as well as their headlights and tail lights before operating their vehicle.
