Lawyer Warns of Baby Walker Recalls
due to Stairway Fall Hazard

According to public announcements dated February 1, 2006, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and three companies have recalled baby walkers due to a stairway fall hazard. The walkers can fit through a standard doorway and are not designed to stop at the edge of a step. Babies using these products can be seriously injured or killed.

According to the CPSC recall announcements, two of the companies, SunTome Trading Corp. and Bike Pro, Inc., originally recalled these baby walkers on July 20, 2001, and October 9, 2002, respectively. They sold the defective walkers through January 2006. All together there are about 51,600 defective baby walkers sold. According to the CPSC, consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
