Approximately 17,000 Step2 Little Helper's Shopping Carts have been recalled because the plastic basket can break into sharp pieces during use. There have been 22 reports of the baskets breaking, which creates a risk of cuts and scratches for children. The recalled carts were sold in blue with a tan base (model 700000), pink with a white base (708500), and pink with a gray base (8567KL). These products were sold nationwide at retailers including BJ Wholesale Club and Kohl's from May 2019 through October 2019. Consumers should take these carts away from children and contact Step2 for a replacement cart or a $40 credit.
The plastic shopping basket can fracture or shatter, creating sharp edges and pointed shards. Children playing with the cart can suffer lacerations (cuts) from these broken pieces.
Consumers should immediately take away the recalled shopping carts from children and contact Step2® for a free replacement shopping cart or a refund in the form of a $40 credit towards the purchase price of another Step2 product on www.Step2.com.
