Kolcraft®
Enterprises, Inc., of Chicago, Ill., is voluntarily recalling about 3,356 Tot
Rider walkers. The cover on the walker's removable music center can break off,
allowing small parts to fall from the product, creating a potential choking
hazard to young children. Kolcraft has not received any reports of injuries.
This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
The recalled walker was manufactured from February 2000 through August 2000,
and has a model number of 14302. The model number and manufacturing date can be
found on the base of the walker. "Tot Rider®," "Music
Center," and "Kolcraft®" appear on the front of the walker. The
music center, which is removable, has a steering wheel, gear shift, buttons,
and a speaker which plays music. Mass merchandise and juvenile products stores
nationwide sold these walkers from February 2000 to January 2001 for between
$40 and $50.
Consumers should remove the music center and call Kolcraft to receive a free
replacement tray. Consumers can contact Kolcraft toll-free at (800) 453-7673
