Costco has issued an urgent safety recall for a popular children's wagon sold through their UK warehouses, warning parents about potential amputation risks that could cause serious injury to young fingers.
What's the Danger?
The folding mechanism on the Costco Kirkland Signature Steel Folding Wagon presents a severe crushing hazard. When the wagon is being folded or unfolded, the scissor-style hinges can trap and crush children's fingers, potentially leading to amputations or other serious injuries.
Affected Products
The recall affects specific Kirkland Signature Steel Folding Wagons with the following model numbers: 1475417, 1475417CA, 1557237, and 1557237CA. These wagons were sold exclusively at Costco warehouses across the United Kingdom between March 2021 and October 2023.
Immediate Action Required
Stop using the wagon immediately and keep it away from children. Costco is offering full refunds to all customers who purchased these potentially dangerous products.
How to Get Your Refund
Customers should return the recalled wagon to any Costco warehouse for a complete refund. No receipt is necessary - simply bring the product to the returns desk. Costco members who have questions can contact customer service for additional assistance.
Safety First
This recall serves as an important reminder for parents to regularly check all children's toys and equipment for potential safety hazards. The Office for Product Safety and Standards is monitoring the situation closely to ensure all affected products are removed from circulation.
