Bugaboo Americas has issued a nation-wide recall involving over 10,000 units of the Cameleon3 stroller model, due to a potential fall hazard caused by the carrying handle detaching while the removable seat is being carried. Bugaboo has received 16 reports of handles breaking, none of which have resulted in injury. Strollers included in the recall have serial numbers from 19010 11153 00001 to 19010 51248 00215. Serial numbers are printed on a horizontal bar of the stroller’s chassis beneath the seat. 9,200 of these were sold in the U.S. and 960 in Canada. In order to remedy the situation, Bugaboo is recommending consumers immediately remove the carry handle from the stroller’s bassinet or seat and contact Bugaboo for a free replacement handle. While awaiting the replacement handle, consumers can continue to use the seat or bassinet when attached to the chassis but should not attempt to use the seat or bassinet separate from the chassis.

Rescue personnel were dispatched to a downtown Kansas City business, ABC Tire Recycling, where a man was said to have fallen into one of the tire shredders on the premises. Upon arrival, they found that the man had been pulled from the machine by coworkers and was in critical condition. The victim was performing maintenance on the shredder when it spontaneously powered up and pulled him in. He was taken to a local hospital and has been confirmed to have survived, despite both main arteries being severed. While no new reports have come in today, authorities say both legs had to be amputated upon arrival at the hospital.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the case and hope to determine whether or not the accident was caused by a product malfunction.

In cases where the product is at fault, the manufacturer can be held responsible for damages suffered by the affected party. If you or a loved one have been made to suffer due to a manufacturing error, the personal injury attorneys at Strong-Garner-Bauer P.C. may be able to help.

There have been new legal developments out a horrific February car accident in central missouri.

Marty Wilcox, his wife Elisa and the couple’s 3-year-old son Marty were killed February 28 in a head on collision on Highway 52 at Brown Road in Miller County.

The only survivor in the family’s car, was the couple’s baby boy, Gabriel, born just two days before.

Now the mother of Marty Wilcox Sr., has filed a wrongful death lawsuit.

Mary Robinson filed the lawsuit against 19-year-old Emily Frakes on March 19 in miller county.

The Highway Patrol said Frakes crossed the center line on Missouri Highway 52 and hit the Wilcox family head on.

Court documents say Frakes was speeding at the time.

Robinson’s lawsuit claims the teen was careless and negligent.

Robinson said because of that, not only has she lost 3 members of her family, she’s also had to take care of funeral and burial expenses.

The documents also say baby Gabriel will always suffer the loss of his parents and older brother and say the newborn was physically hurt in the crash but the extent of his injuries are unknown.

Robinson claims Frakes was cited for speeding days before the crash and say she showed a conscious and reckless disregard for others.

Baby Gabriel is now in the custody of his mother, Elisa Wilcox’s parents.
