• Recall: Step 2 Buggy Toys

  
  Ride-On Buggy Toys
  Wed, May 12, 2010 (BabyCenter News) — In cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Step2 has announced a recall of about 2.5 million ride-on buggy toys.
  
  A pin attached to the yellow knob on the handle of the buggy can loosen, causing the handle to detach from the buggy. This poses a serious risk of injury to young children. Step 2 has received 28 reports of the handle detaching. Two incidents required professional medical treatment and 26 resulted in minor scrapes and scratches.
  
  The Step2 Push Around Buggy and Whisper Ride Buggy are ride-on toys. The buggy comes in various colors including orange, red, blue, pink, and green. The buggies have a red “Step2” logo on the handle.
  
  Buggies that have a handle attached by a bolt with a white or black plastic head and nut are not included in this recall.
  
  The buggies were made in the U.S. and sold at major retailers and specialty stores from August 1999 through March 2010 for $29 to $59.
