Baby Walker Recall

by Eliza on October 17th, 2008

Over 800 baby walkers have been recalled. Why? The walkers aren’t made to stop at the edge of a step, which means the baby can topple down the stairs, severely injuring themselves.

Currently no baby has been hurt and this is just a precaution for now.

Manufacturer: My Way Corp

Description: Pink, green, blue, ivory and red. These walkers have a steering wheel and toys that go on the tray.

Sold: They were sold between November 2004-current. They range in the price range of $18-25.00. If you find you have one you can contact My Way Corp at 787 758 5848, you will get a full refund.

    I can’t believe those are even still on the market. My friend’s daughter plunged down the stairs in one of those — it’s a miracle she wasn’t killed. Why would anyone want one of those dangerous things instead of the stationary saucer?

    When my big kids were little, the advice was to not use a walker. By the time Sarah came around I didn’t see them in stores anymore - just those saucer-thingys. I’m very surprised that they make them again. Not surprised that babies are hurt using them. :(

    I had a walker for my daughters, and actually removed the rubber pieces that act as the stopper. Since I have a one story house this really isn’t a problem. I am surprised though, that these made it to the market. But in today’s global economy many things slip past the inspectors and make it into market.
