Plain-English summary

Oriental International Trading Company, of Los Angeles, California, is recalling about 3,500 "Honey" model baby walkers. The affected units are model numbers 820, 860, 862, and 802, which are printed on the seat backs. These walkers were sold in blue, yellow, or pink with a padded seat and an activity tray, intended for babies five months and older. A warning label on the walker states it is suitable for babies between five and ten months old.

The recall is being conducted because the walkers are designed to fit through a standard doorway and are not designed to stop at the edge of a step. Babies using these walkers can be seriously injured or killed if they fall down stairs. Oriental International Trading has not received any reports of injuries involving these walkers; the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

The walkers were sold at independent discount stores in Arizona, California, Texas, Illinois, North Carolina, and New York from May 2001 through June 2002 for between $18 and $22. Consumers should stop using these walkers immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
