(PORTLAND, Ore. ) - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Lan Enterprises, of Portland, Oregon, today announced a voluntary recall of Mini Zooper Doll Strollers.

The CPSC says a child's finger can become caught in the rectangular metal clip or the black plastic side hinge, and this can sever a child's finger tip. The strollers also pose an entrapment hazard.

Pottery Barn Kids has received three reports of serious lacerations, including one partial finger severing on a 2-year-old boy.

The Strollers were sold exclusively at Pottery Barn Kids retail stores nationwide, catalog and Web site from October 2005 through June 2007 for about $50.

The Mini Zooper Doll Stroller has a silver metal frame with a bright pink cotton canvas seat cover. "Pottery Barn Kids" is printed on a label on the canvas seat cover.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled doll strollers away from children and contact Pottery Barn Kids for instructions on receiving a repair kit.

For additional information, call Pottery Barn Kids at (888) 367-0144 between 7:00 AM and 12:00 AM ET daily or visit www.potterybarnkids.com.

So was the stroller another kid-safe product from China?
