WASHINGTON, Aug. 23, 2000 -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, N.Y., is voluntarily
recalling about 2.5 million Lift 'n Lock Swings, and about 246,000 Get
Up & Go Walkers, which are push toys.
The Lift & Lock Swings have red or purple plastic seats, yellow "T"- shaped restraint shields and blue ropes. "Fisher-Price(r)" is written on the front of the restraint shield. The swings have model numbers 2092, 75960, 75970, 75973 or 75980 molded into the back part of the seat. Mass merchandise, juvenile products and discount department stores sold these swings from January 1991 through August 2000 for about $19. Consumers should stop using the swings immediately. Fisher-Price will provide a free repair kit with a supplemental waist and crotch restraint belt. Recall of "Get Up & Go Walkers" The Get Up & Go Walker is a three-sided push toy, which looks like a
car, designed for children to support themselves as they are learning to
stand and walk. Young children leaning forward on the front of the toys
can tip them over and fall. Also, the windshield wipers on some of the
toys, which stick out, can injure young children when they fall.
Fisher-Price has received 330 reports of children falling while using or
near the product. A total of 132 children received injuries such as
bumps, bruises, scratches and cuts. The Get Up & Go Walker is white with blue sides. It has activities such as a rotating mirror/phone, toy windshield wiper and steering wheel with yellow horn. The back wheels of the walker can be locked into place to prevent rolling as babies learn to stand. The Fisher-Price logo is located on the outside of the toy between the headlight decorations. Models with a front bar for babies to grasp and/or a green windshield wiper are included in the recall. Fisher-Price will help consumers determine if they have a recalled product. Toy, mass merchandise and discount stores sold these push-behind toys from July 1997 through August 2000 for about $30. Consumers should stop children from using the toys immediately and call Fisher-Price for a free repair kit that will eliminate the front bar and windshield wiper. To participate in either one or both of these recalls, or for more information, consumers should call Fisher-Price toll-free at (800) 343-1502 anytime. The product remedies are available only through Fisher-Price. Consumers also can visit the Fisher-Price website at www.fisher-price.com for more information. Report Your Experience
