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 recall involves a risk-of-harm product where serious injury or death is possible due to stairway falls, but the source explicitly states that no injuries or incidents have been reported, which caps the severity at High per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Bike Pro, Inc. of Pico Rivera, Calif., is reannouncing a recall of approximately 50,000 baby walkers. The recall was originally announced in October 2002. The affected walkers are intended for babies 6 months and older and are available in blue, green, pink, and yellow. They feature musical activity trays with various toys and themes, including rockets and a tank with an army print cloth seat, lights and a steering wheel with a teddy bear cloth seat, and a monkey's face with a teddy bear seat cloth. The words "Baby" and "BEBELOVE" are printed on labels on some of the units.

The walkers present a hazard because they can 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. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.

These baby walkers were sold at independent discount stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, Michigan, Missouri, and New York from January 2000 through January 2006 for between $18 and $22. Consumers should stop using these walkers immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
