Plain-English summary

Toys R Us Inc. is recalling about 9,000 Imaginarium Activity Walkers due to a choking hazard. The small bolt and spacer that attaches each front wheel to the walker can detach, creating a risk for young children. Toys R Us has received five reports of the front wheels detaching, but no injuries have been reported.

The recalled walkers have a round wooden push handle on a curved triangle-shaped wooden base with four wheels. They feature a multi-colored metal xylophone, two triangle mallets, a multi-colored abacus, and a scratch noise maker. The walkers measure about 19 inches tall and 13 inches wide. The model number "Toys 'R' Us 5F5E972" is printed on the bottom of the walker, and the barcode number "3700217300319" is on the bottom of the box.

These walkers were sold at Toys R Us stores nationwide and online at www.toysrus.com from August 2011 through January 2013 for about $30. Consumers should stop using the recalled walker immediately, put it out of reach of young children, and return it to a Toys R Us store for a full refund or store credit. For more information, consumers can contact Toys R Us at (800) 869-7787 or visit the Safety Information and Recalls section of the company's website.
