Boyro Baby Walkers (Model: US-B01) were recalled on 6/26/25 due to dangerous lead levels and fall hazards, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency.

The recalled baby walkers violate the federal safety standard for infant walkers because they can fit through a standard doorway and fail to stop at the edge of a step as required, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to a fall hazard. In addition, the baby walkers’ brake pads contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban that are prohibited in children’s products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

This recall involves Boyro Baby’s baby walkers, model number US-B01. The plastic walkers were sold in black, blue and gray with five levels of height adjustments. They have a black or gray rotating seat, a matching footpad, six wheels and four removable toys (an owl, a flower, an arch with a ball and a three-button panel that plays music and lights up.) “Ready To Ride” appears on a label on one of the walker’s legs and the height-adjustment buttons are on another leg. “Boyro Baby” and the model number are printed on the tracking label, located under the seat cushion.

This product was sold exclusively on Amazon from Aug.–Dec. 2024.

What to do:

  • Stop use immediately
  • Disassemble walker
  • Request a refund at: boyrobaby@outlook.com
  • Test children for lead exposure

Here’s how to get your child tested in Orange County:

  1. Consult with your child’s healthcare provider:
    Talk to your pediatrician or family doctor about your concerns and whether a blood lead test is recommended for your child.
  2. Consider CLPPP+:
    The Orange County HCA’s CLPPP+ program offers county-wide services and can guide you through the testing and prevention process.
  3. Check for eligibility for testing:
    The CLPPP+ program may offer free or low-cost testing, especially for children in publicly supported programs or those with potential risk factors.
  4. Home testing options:
    If you suspect lead hazards in your home, consider hiring a State-certified lead inspector/assessor and/or a lead contractor to address any issues.
  5. Understanding the test:
    The most accurate blood lead tests involve taking blood from a vein in the arm (venous sample). If a capillary sample is used (from a finger or heel), retesting with a venous sample is recommended for results of 3.5 mcg/dL or higher.
  6. Follow up on results:
    If your child’s blood lead level is elevated, your doctor will provide guidance on managing lead exposure and potential health implications.

One thought on “Baby Walkers sold on Amazon recalled due to high lead levels and fall hazards”
  1. People need to realize that Amazon has become the world’s largest flea market. Most of their products are absolute garbage imported with little to no scrutiny or testing and actually sold at significant markups. That “good deal” you got for $39.99 plus free same day shipping (where some pour soul is working overnight shift in near slave-like conditions to bring it to you) is a piece of crap worth $5 that will break in 2 months– or might actually be toxic. Down with Amazon!
