Seca Baby Scale Cart Recalled Due to Wheel Detachment Risk

Seca is recalling 254 baby scale carts because wheels can loosen and detach, causing the cart to tip over and potentially injure a baby.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 is possible if the cart tips over, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk.

Plain-English summary

Seca is recalling 254 units of the Seca 402/403 Baby Scale Cart (Ref # 4020000009/ REF # 4030000009). The recall affects serial numbers ranging from 6002142000002 to 6002142001101. These products were distributed in the United States and Canada.

The recall was initiated because the wheels on the baby scale cart can unexpectedly loosen and, in the worst case, detach from the cart completely. If this occurs, the cart can become unstable and tip over, potentially leading to the scale falling from the cart. If a baby is left unattended in a cart, the baby could fall off the scale and be subjected to several serious injuries.

Consumers should stop using the affected carts immediately and contact Seca for further instructions on the recall.
