Fisher-Price Recalls to Repair Little People Builders’ Load ‘n Go Wagons due to Laceration Hazard

This recall involves the Fisher Price’s Little People’ Builders’ Load ‘n Go Wagon model number P8977 (about 208,000 in the United States and 2,800 in Canada). The back of the wagon’s plastic handle has molded-in reinforcement. This design adds stiffness and facilitates children gripping the handle but the handle poses a laceration hazard if a child falls on it. The wagons were sold at mass merchandise retail stores nationwide from June 2009 through July 2011 for about $25.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled wagons away from children and contact Fisher-Price for instructions on how to obtain a free repair kit.
