Step2 is recalling approximately 14,000 Whisper Ride Touring Wagons because the removable blue seat backs can detach unexpectedly. There have been 29 reports of seat backs detaching, which resulted in 28 children falling out of the wagon, leading to injuries like bumped heads, bruises, and scratches. These two-seat plastic wagons have a tan base and a red canopy and were sold exclusively at Toys R Us from February 2013 through August 2013. Step2 is providing a free repair kit to fix the issue.
The blue seat backs can come loose from the wagon frame, causing a child to fall backwards or out of the moving wagon. This has already resulted in 14 reported head injuries and 9 instances of bruises or lacerations.
Consumers should immediately stop using the wagon and inspect it to determine if the seat belt is attached to the removable blue seat back. If so, the wagon is included in this recall. Consumers with the recalled wagons should contact Step2 to obtain a free repair kit.
