Push Cars Recalled by Step 2 Toy Manufacturers

Step 2 is a very prominent toy manufacturer who has taken the responsible steps to remove some of it's allegedly defective products from off the market and out of consumers' homes. 

The defective products are called "Push around and Whisper Ride Buggies."  They are small, child-sized cars which are designed for young children and toddlers.  Although these push cars come in a variety of colors and styles, the ones being recalled have a red body, with a yellow front compartment, and a blue push handle in the back.  The car is also animated looking with large white eyeballs for headlights.  To see pictures of this car and the CPSC recall notice, click here.

The yellow compartment handle on the front of the car is the defective piece that keeps popping off.  To learm more about this defective product and the effects it has had on children, click here.
