If your little person is pulling along Fisher Price’s Little People® Builders’ Load ‘n Go Wagon, it may be time to head into the repair shop! Fisher Price and CPSC have issued a recall announcement for as many as 216,000 of these red plastic wagons sold through retail stores in the USA and Canada.
The yellow plastic handle on the wagon has a reinforcement molded right into the design at the back of the handle. While this design was intended to strengthen the handle, it has become apparent that it can also create a laceration hazard if a child should fall on it. The company has received seven injury reports from consumers. Five of those incidents required stitches or surgical glue.
The plastic wagon (shown here) is red with a yellow handle that has the name “Fisher Price” molded into the handle. It includes colorful plastic stacking blocks and a single dog character piece. The style number affected, P9877, is molded into the side of the wagon. The products sold from July 2009 through July 2011 for $25.
NOTE: The wagons with green handles are NOT involved in this recall.
Consumers are advised to stop using the wagon at once and contact Fisher-Price to obtain and repair kit at no charge. Fisher Price can be reached at (800) 432-5437 or on their website at www.service.mattel.com.
