Plain-English summary
Fisher-Price is recalling the Little People® Builders' Load 'n Go Wagon (model number P8977) due to a laceration hazard. The back of the wagon's plastic handle has molded-in reinforcement designed to add stiffness and facilitate gripping, but it poses a laceration hazard if a child falls on it. The product includes a red wagon with a yellow handle, multi-colored plastic blocks, and a dog figure. Wagons with green handles are not included in this recall.
About 208,000 units were sold in the United States and 2,800 in Canada. The wagons were sold at mass merchandise retail stores nationwide from June 2009 through July 2011 for about $25. CPSC and Fisher-Price are aware of seven reports of injuries, including five reports of children requiring surgical glue or stitches.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled wagons away from children and contact Fisher-Price for instructions on how to obtain a free repair kit.
