A baby walker has been voluntarily recalled in the United States due to concerns that it could pose injury risks to infants.
The My Way Corp. walker is able to fit through doorways and is not designed to stop at the edge of a step, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. No injuries have yet been reported.
The walkers are designed for babies six months old and older and come in pink, red, green, blue and ivory. There is a steering wheel and an activity tray on the front of the walker, along with a My Way Corp. sticker.
The walkers were manufactured in China and sold at discount stores in Puerto Rico for about $25 from November 2004 to March 2008.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is advising that consumers should discontinue use of the walkers and return them for a full refund.
