CPSC, Firms Announce Recall of Hand Trucks, Baby Walkers

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

If the tires of the hand trucks are substantially over-inflated beyond the recommended maximum 30 P.S.I., the rims of the tire can separate under the intense pressure and strike the user or bystanders. The walkers will fit through a standard doorway and are not designed to stop at the edge of a step. Babies using these walkers could be seriously injured or killed if they fall down stairs.

What to do

Consumers should contact UnionTools, Inc. to receive a free repair kit. Consumers should only use a hand pump to inflate the tires. Consumers should stop using these baby walkers immediately and call SunTome Trading Corp. for instructions on returning the walkers for a refund and shipping costs.
