What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states that babies can be seriously injured or killed, but notes that no injuries have been reported. This aligns with the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Big Save International Corp. is recalling about 12,000 baby walkers sold in the United States. The recall includes models 9026, 9028, 9090, 90110, and 90111. These products were sold at toy and juvenile product stores nationwide for between $15 and $25. Model 9026 walkers were sold from June 1998 through December 2002, while the other models were sold from December 2003 through December 2004. The walkers feature six caster wheels and are available in light green, pink, and blue.

The recall was issued because the walkers fit through a standard doorway and are not designed to stop at the edge of a step. Additionally, the walkers can tip over. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) notes that babies using these walkers can be seriously injured or killed. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should stop using the recalled walkers immediately. To obtain a refund, consumers should return the walkers to the retailer where they were purchased. For more information, consumers can call Big Save International Corp. at (800) 626-9393 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday.
