Get Up & Go Walkers: Young children leaning forward on the front of the toys can tip them over and fall. Also, the windshield wipers on some of the toys, which stick out, can injure young children when they fall.

Which ones are recalled?
The Lift & Lock Swing is an outdoor swing for children 9 months to 3 years. The swing has a plastic “T”-shaped restraint shield to hold children in the seat. The Lift & Lock Swings have red or purple plastic seats, yellow “T”- shaped restraint shields and blue ropes. “Fisher-Price(r)” is written on the front of the restraint shield. The swings have model numbers 2092, 75960, 75970, 75973 or 75980 molded into the back part of the seat. The Get Up & Go Walker is a three-sided push toy, which looks like a car, designed for children to support themselves as they are learning to stand and walk. The Get Up & Go Walker is white with blue sides. It has activities such as a rotating mirror/phone, toy windshield wiper and steering wheel with yellow horn. The back wheels of the walker can be locked into place to prevent rolling as babies learn to stand. The Fisher-Price logo is located on the outside of the toy between the headlight decorations. Models with a front bar for babies to grasp and/or a green windshield wiper are included in the recall. Fisher-Price will help consumers determine if they have a recalled product.
