If you have a little one toddling around at home, you'll want to pay attention to this recall.
Thousands of toddler walkers are being recalled because the wheels can break off, posing a choking hazard to small children.
The recall involves about 20,000 "B. toys Wooden Activity Walker – Walk ‘n’ Learn walkers" distributed by Canadian-based Maison Battat.
The toys were sold at Target and Amazon from September 2020 through November 2021 for about $36, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. About 17,200 units were sold in the United States and another 2,400 were sold in Canada.
The product is a wooden activity walker with yellow sides, blue wheels and multicolored activity features on the front.
The company says the wheels and wheel attachment hardware can detach from the walker in small pieces. If a small child puts the detached pieces in their mouth, they could choke.
There have been six reports of the wheels and related hardware detaching, including one report of a child putting a metal nut in her mouth, the CPSC said.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled walkers away from young children. You can either use your own personal tools to fix the toy or contact Maison Battat for a free repair kit.
Maison Battat shared repair instructions and posted an instructional video to YouTube which shows how to repair the walker on your own.
If you request the repair kit, you'll receive four new wheels as well as all the tools and hardware required to complete a wheel replacement.
For more information, consumers can contact the company online or by calling 1-844-963-2479.
