Urgent recall issued: parents must destroy popular baby walker and trike

An urgent recall has been issued for two popular Baby Walker & Trike products. 

Kogan’s 4 in 1 Baby Walker & Trike and the 6 in 1 Baby Walker & Trike have been recalled over fears they could cause injury to a child. 

Although they can be used as a stroller, they don’t comply with stroller safety standards. 

Product Safety Australia says: “These products have some of the features of a stroller, but are unsafe for use as a stroller to transport children as they do not have the safety features required under the mandatory standard ‘Consumer Product Safety Standard for Prams and Strollers.

“These products are missing safety features and labeling and the locking device can be operated easily by a child.”

What are the hazards?

Both the 4 in 1 Baby Walker & Trike and the 6 in 1 Baby Walker & Trike could cause injury to a child if they rolled, unlocked or folded in “an uncontrolled manner”. There are also fears children could fall out or become entangled in the strap loops. 

What should parents do?

If you have purchased a Kogan 4 in 1 Baby Walker & Trike and the 6 in 1 Baby Walker & Trike, Kogan is offering a full refund.

To get a refund, parents need to dispose of the product and contact Kogan with proof that it has been destroyed (a photo or video).

For more information, consumers should contact Kogan Australia on 1300 304 292 or via email supervisor@kogan.com.au.
