Safety recall issued for baby bicycle seat after injuries to children’s fingers

 A brand of baby bicycle seats sold at popular retail outlets such as REI was recalled this week after the federal government learned that two children nearly had their fingers amputated because of the product’s design.
The voluntary recall, reported by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, involves Topeak Babyseat II, distributed by Todson of Massachusetts. The agency reported two incidents that resulted in stitches and a crushed finger. As the seats’ grab bars were lifted to remove the youths, their fingertips got caught in the hinge mechanism of the bars.
