The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, along with Toys"R"Us, Inc., today announced a recall of roughly 9,000 Imaginarium Activity Walkers. The small bolt and spacer that attaches each front wheel to the walker can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.

What's the Deal?

Toys"R"Us has received five reports of the front wheels detaching. No injuries have been reported.

Do You Own It?

The recalled Imaginarium Activity Walkers have a round wooden push handle on the top of a curved triangle-shaped wooden walker base with four wheels. There is a multi-colored metal xylophone with 2 triangle mallets, 1 multi-colored abacus, and 1 scratch noise maker on the front of the walker. The walkers have multi-colored wooden, disc-shaped wheels. The walkers measure about 19 inches tall and about 13 inches wide. The recalled walkers have model number "Toys'R'Us 5F5E972" printed on the bottom of the activity walkers. Barcode number "3700217300319" is printed on the bottom of the activity walker box.

What Should You Do?

Consumers should stop using the recalled walker immediately, put it out of reach of young children, and return it to a Toys"R"Us store for a full refund or store credit.
