Step2® Recalls to Repair Riding Toys Due to Risk of Injury
What's being recalled
Push Around and Whisper Ride Buggies
Units: About 2.5 million
The Step2® Push Around Buggy™ and Whisper Ride Buggy™ are ride-on toys. The buggy comes in various colors; such as, orange, red, blue, pink and green. The buggies have a red "Step2" logo on the handle of the buggy. Buggies that have a handle attached by a bolt with a plastic white or black head and nut are not included in this recall.
The problem, in CPSC's words
A pin attaching to the yellow knob on the handle of the buggy can loosen, causing the handle to detach from the buggy. This poses a serious risk of injury to young children.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
The firm has received 28 reports of the handle detaching; two incidents required professional medical treatment and 26 resulted in minor scrapes and scratches.
What CPSC says to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled buggy and contact Step2 for a free repair kit.
