Zeno Infant Walkers Recall Class Action Lawsuit
On February 17, 2022, Zeno issued a recall for their infant walkers. The recall, number 22-724 affects approximately 1,355 units of the product. According to the recall, the walkers do not meet federal safety standards. The infant walkers can fit through standard doorways and are not designed to stop at the edge of a step as is required by the federal standard. In addition, the leg openings in the infant walkers are too large, which could allow the infant to slip down until his or her head becomes entrapped at the neck. Due to these hazards, the walkers represent a significant risk of injury and death.
The recall includes the Zeno-brand collapsible infant walkers (with an adjustable height setting). The walkers were available with a gray, pink, teal, or black frames, a gray or black seat, and a pink, white, or teal tray. Some of the infant walkers came with toy attachments and a push handle. “Babywalker is stitched on the seat back.
The recalled baby walkers were sold online from October 2018 through August 2021 online at Walmart.com. They were sold for prices ranging from $130 to $160.
According to the recall, no incidents or injuries have been reported. The company is urging consumers to stop using the infant walkers and contact them via email to receive a shipping label for a free return and a full refund.
If your infant was harmed by the defective walker, you should not even consider returning the walker for a refund. Rather, you should explore the legal options available to you.
You could have grounds to file a defective product lawsuit. You could even participate in a class action lawsuit.

Possible Injuries Resulting from the Recalled Infant WalkersThere are quite a few types of injuries that infants can suffer as a direct result of the defective walkers. These injuries are associated with two separate hazards present in the product.
Because the walkers fit through doorways and are not designed to stop at steps, it is possible for infants on the walkers to fall down the stairs, resulting in some of the following injuries:
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures
- Sprains and strains
- Lacerations
- Scrapes and bruises
Because the leg openings are too large, allowing infant’s body to slip through and get stuck at the neck, some of the following injuries are possible:
- Suffocation
- strangulation
- Cardiac arrest
- Brain damage
These injuries can unfortunately be fatal in severe incidents. If your infant suffered any harm associated with the defective Zeno infant walkers, then it is essentially that you prepare to file a lawsuit.
