Latest UPPAbaby Stroller Lawsuit Updates
July 28, 2026: Court Dismisses UPPAbaby Car Seat Class Action
Law360 reported on July 28, 2026 that a federal judge in the District of New Jersey dismissed a grandmother’s proposed class action over UPPAbaby infant car seats. The judge called her claims unsupported “assumptions” [1].
UPPAbaby avoided the claims for the time being. This case concerns a different product from the strollers on this page.
March 26, 2025: Court Dismisses the Z.A. Case Against Monahan Products
On March 26, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered an order dismissing Z.A. v. Monahan Products, LLC, and the clerk entered judgment [2].
December 12, 2024: Z.A. Case Filed Against Monahan Products
On December 12, 2024, a complaint was filed against Monahan Products, LLC in federal court in New York. The plaintiff is identified only by the initials Z.A.
The case, Z.A. v. Monahan Products, LLC, 1:24-cv-08508, is a personal-injury product-liability claim. Two recall notices were attached to the complaint as exhibits.
September 1, 2022: CPSC and Health Canada Recall RIDGE Jogging Strollers
On September 1, 2022, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced recall 22-215 of all UPPAbaby All-Terrain RIDGE jogging strollers over a fingertip amputation hazard [3].
Health Canada joined the recall, which covers about 14,400 strollers sold in the United States and 1,400 in Canada [4].
June 30, 2021: CPSC Recalls RumbleSeat Adapters
On June 30, 2021, the CPSC announced recall 21-158 of about 86,000 RumbleSeat adapters. The RumbleSeat is an accessory seat that attaches to the stroller frame through two plastic adapters [5].
The adapters can detach, posing a fall hazard to the child in the RumbleSeat. They were sold at juvenile specialty stores, and UPPAbaby offered owners free replacement adapters for the seat.
July 23, 2015: CPSC Recalls CRUZ and VISTA Strollers and RumbleSeats
On July 23, 2015, the CPSC announced recall 15-196 of about 71,000 2015 CRUZ and VISTA strollers and 2015 RumbleSeats. Another 8,000 were sold in Canada [6].
Children could bite off a piece of the bumper bar foam, a choking hazard. There were 22 reports of children biting off foam, and no injuries were reported. UPPAbaby offered a free bumper bar cover and warning label.
Who May Be Affected?
Owners of an UPPAbaby All-Terrain RIDGE jogging stroller are covered by the 2022 recall. That applies if the serial number begins with 1401RDGUS and the stroller was sold from October 2021 to August 2022.
Owners of a RumbleSeat accessory, model 0252, 0917 or 0918, made between September 2014 and July 2019, are covered by the 2021 adapter recall.
Owners of a 2015 CRUZ stroller, a 2015 VISTA stroller or a 2015 RumbleSeat are covered by the 2015 recall. That recall concerns the bumper bar foam. A legal review by Schmidt & Clark looks at each situation individually.
Reported Injuries or Damages
CPSC says the RIDGE rear disc brakes have openings. A non-occupant child’s fingertip can get caught in them while the stroller is in use. That can cause amputation or laceration.
The CPSC notice of September 1, 2022 says UPPAbaby had received one reported incident. It resulted in a fingertip amputation to a child who was not in the stroller while in use.
For the RumbleSeat adapters, CPSC says UPPAbaby received 135 reports of detachments. They include 77 incidents resulting in bumps and scrapes and two reports of broken noses.
UPPAbaby said in a statement reported by The New York Times: “Based on one consumer report to us, we believe the injury is likely due to consumer misuse” [7].
The company also said extensive testing is conducted on its products and this line of strollers had passed each test. These regulator reports and the company’s statement are not court findings.
Recall and Regulatory Background
Health Canada lists the 2022 recall as RA-64522 and said UPPAbaby had received no reports of injury in Canada as of August 30, 2022. A recall does not by itself decide who is at fault.
On October 2, 2017, Health Canada posted RA-64648, a recall of about 3500 RumbleSeat adapters sold in Canada between January 2015 and March 2017 [8].
Evidence to Preserve
Keep these items, because they can help a lawyer understand what happened:
- The stroller or RumbleSeat accessory itself, kept out of use until a lawyer has seen it, with the original brake discs or adapters saved before any recall repair.
- The serial number and model number, including the number on the label under a RumbleSeat.
- The receipt, order confirmation or registration showing where and when the product was bought.
- Photographs of the product, the brake discs or adapters, and any injury, taken as soon as possible.
- Medical records and bills for treatment of the injury, including any follow-up care.
- The recall notice and every message with UPPAbaby or the retailer about the product.
- The names of witnesses who saw the incident or the child’s injury.
Filing Deadlines
The time limit for an injury claim comes from state law. It depends on where you live and when the injury happened.
For some injuries, the clock may also depend on when the injury was discovered. Filing after the deadline can end a claim, however strong the evidence looks.
If a child was hurt, speak with a lawyer promptly so you know which deadline applies to your situation and how much time is left.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do If I Own a Recalled UPPAbaby RIDGE Stroller?
If you own a recalled UPPAbaby RIDGE stroller, contact UPPAbaby for the free brake disc replacement. Call 844-823-3132, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or email support@uppababy.com. You can report an incident to CPSC at 800-638-2772.
Can I File an UPPAbaby Stroller Lawsuit If My Child Was Hurt?
Whether you can file an UPPAbaby stroller lawsuit if your child was hurt depends on the product, the injury and where you live. The RIDGE, RumbleSeat adapter and 2015 recalls each cover different models, so it helps to know which one covers your product.
How Do I Find the Serial Number on My UPPAbaby RIDGE Stroller?
To find the serial number on your UPPAbaby RIDGE stroller, look on the right side of the frame above the rear wheel. The model number, 1401-RDG-US, is on the left side of the frame.
The UPPAbaby car seat class action is not related to the UPPAbaby strollers. Jacobs v. Monahan Products, LLC, 1:25-cv-14538, was filed August 12, 2025 in New Jersey federal court over infant car seats. Judge Renee Marie Bumb is assigned.
What Happened in the UPPAbaby Z.A. Lawsuit Before the Dismissal?
In the UPPAbaby Z.A. lawsuit before the dismissal, Monahan Products filed its answer on March 4, 2025. On March 21, 2025, the court entered an order to show cause, which asks a party to explain itself to the court. A response was filed on March 26, 2025.
What Does the Research Say About UPPAbaby Stroller Injuries?
Research on UPPAbaby stroller injuries comes from regulator reports. Health Canada’s 2017 notice on RumbleSeat adapters records 2 consumer incident reports with injuries to the occupant’s face as of September 18, 2017. Reports do not prove what caused each injury.
