CPSC Issues Recall Due To Choking Hazard

March 18, 2013

As a Buffalo and Western New York injury attorney who represents people who have been injured when using products, I am continually amazed that products reach the marketplace without proper testing and research.

The CPSC recently announced a recall aimed at an unsafe product that can cause harm to children. On March 13, 2012 Toys R US recalled the Imaginarium Activity Walker due to a choking hazard. The CPSC website states that:

“The small bolt and spacer that attaches each front wheel to the walker can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.”

Consumers can contact Toys R Us at (800) 869-7787 from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, or visit the firm’s website at www.toysrus.com and click on Safety Information and Recalls for more information.
