THURSDAY, March 21, 2024 (HealthDay News) — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is advising parents to stop using and dispose of any Comfi brand baby walkers due to fall and entrapment hazards.<\/p>\n
The walkers, sold on Amazon, “violate the federal safety regulations for infant walkers because they can fit through a standard doorway, are not designed to stop at the edge of a step and have leg openings that allow the child to slip down until the child’s head can become entrapped,” the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The walkers sold for about $100 online at Amazon from October 2022 through March 2023, and the company that made them, All Merchandise, of Charlotte, N.C., has already ceased doing business, the CPSC said.<\/p>\n
“The infant walkers contain adjustable height settings, and they have a teal or pink frame, a gray seat and a gray tray with toy attachments, and a push handle,” the agency said. ‘Comfi Baby’ is printed on a label on the push handle and on the front of the top frame and the letter ‘M’ is on the bottom front frame.”<\/p>\n
As well,\u00a0 “Babywalker” is stitched on the gray seat back. ASIN is B0BFJNQSW7. All Merchandise LLC\/Comfi Baby\u00e2\u0080\u00a611313 Clayford Rdg\u00e2\u0080\u00a6Charlotte, NC 28215\u00e2\u0080\u00a6Batch#RWPBELLA 11-22 is printed on a label stitched on the back of the seat.<\/p>\n
