CPSC Issues Comfi Baby Infant Walker Injury Warning Over Fall, Entrapment Risks
Recalled infant walkers should be discarded immediately, CPSC indicates the seller is unable to offer refunds or replacements to consumers.
Federal safety officials are warning parents to avoid using Comfi Baby Infant Walkers sold exclusively on Amazon.com, due to design defects that pose fall and entrapment risks to babies. However, the manufacturer is no longer in operation, so neither replacement devices or refunds are currently being offered.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the Comfi Baby Infant Walker warning on March 21, indicating the product design violates federal safety regulations for infant walkers, since they are able to fit through doorways, lack the ability to stop at the edge of a step, and have leg openings large enough for an infant’s head to become entrapped.
Each of these design defects pose serious safety hazards, leading the agency to indicate that they should no longer be used. CPSC officials issued a violation notice to the seller, All Merchandise of Charlotte, North Carolina. However, they indicate the company is not currently available to offer any remedy to consumers.
