CPSC, Kolcraft Announce Recall of Toy Attachments on Baby Walkers
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Kolcraft Enterprises, Inc., of Chicago, Ill., is
voluntarily recalling about 410,000 toy attachments on baby walkers. The
flower toys on the baby walker's tray can detach from the stems,
exposing sharp edges and posing a laceration hazard to young children.
Kolcraft has received 15 reports of injuries associated with the
exposed sharp edges of the toys' stems. The injuries to children
included lacerations around the eyes, eyelids, face and tongue.
The walkers are multi-colored and have either a detachable toy bar
or a detachable music center on the tray. On each tray are two 6.5-inch
stems with 3.5-inch stars on top. The recalled walkers were sold under
the "Tot Rider" and "Carter's" brand names. Tot Rider walkers included
in the recall have model numbers 14303-AC, 14303-CC and 14401-OT. The
model numbers are printed on stickers located on the inside wall of the
base of the walkers. The names "Tot Rider" and "Kolcraft" are printed on
stickers attached to the front of the walker. The Carter's model walkers
included in the recall have model numbers 14303-LB, 14303-UE and 14304-
LJ. The model numbers are printed on stickers located on the inside wall
of the base of the walkers. The words "Carter's" and "Music Center" are
printed on stickers attached to the front of the walker. Walker models
14303 and 14304 were manufactured from December 2000 through August
2002, and walker model 14401 was manufactured from January 2000 through
July 2002. The manufacturing date is printed on the sticker with the
model number. Some of the walkers were made in the U.S. and some were
made in China.
Discount, department and juvenile product stores sold the walkers
with these toys nationwide from December 2000 through October 2002 for
between $20 and $40.
Consumers should remove the detachable toy bars or music center
toy trays on these walkers immediately. For information on receiving a
replacement toy bar or music center toy tray, consumers can contact
Kolcraft toll-free at (888) 695-9988 anytime or visit the firm's web
site at www.kolcraft.com
