Reason for recall

The attachment latch mechanism can become bent depending on user handling. Latch mechanism bending could lead to improper engagement of the foot section and this could result in injury to the user due to a fall.

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
