U.S. pediatricians urge recall, ban on baby walkers.
The American Academy of Pediatricians has called for a US ban on the manufacture and sale of babywalkers and a recall of existing products. In Canada a voluntary standard suggesting walkers be too wide to allow them through doors lead to the walkers being no longer sold. Problem not so easily solved in U.S. The chief risk of walkers is head injury.
