Another children's product recalled due to injury risk

When babies reach a certain age, they need to learn to walk. In addition to the support and guidance of parents, they also need the necessary tools. Baby walkers have become the choice of many families. By keeping the child within sight, parents can do their own things at the same time, saving a lot of time. However, there are also hidden risks. Recently, a baby walker was recalled.

The recalled baby walkers are height-adjustable folding models with round wheels at the bottom, a tray on top for baby support, a soft cushion in the middle, and a brand label on the backrest . In addition to the basic models, some models have various toys on the tray to help children walk and entertain at the same time.

These products were sold through the Walmart platform from October 2018 to August 2021 , with prices ranging from US$130 to US$160.

The reason for the recall is that it does not meet federal safety standards. This walker can pass through ordinary doorways, but it cannot stop at the edge of steps. The openings in the legs of the seat cushion can easily allow children to slide down, which may cause the child's head to be stuck. Both safety hazards may cause serious injury or death to children. No accidents have been reported so far. The recall number is about 1,355.

Consumers should stop using the recalled baby walkers immediately and contact the seller via email to return them free of charge for a full refund, according to the CPSC .

This problem is not limited to Walmart. By searching the popular baby walker review area on Amazon, you can also find many complaints from buyers, such as too much effort to install; the joints are easily loose; the wheels are not very sensitive, and some wheels often do not turn; the plastic material is not safe enough. These problems exist in many brands.

It is not uncommon for baby-related products to be recalled. Some time ago, there was also a case where a baby stroller was recalled due to the risk of falling. Safety is no small matter, and baby products must be treated with caution. Sellers should also take this as a warning. No matter what category they are in, they must pay attention to product quality and strictly abide by safety standards.
