Step2 disclosed 28 reports of the buggy's handle detaching, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a statement. The cause of the detachment is linked to a pin attached to the handle, which loosens too easily.
To date, 26 people have reported minor scraps and scratches, and two customers reported seeking medical attention, according to the CPSC.
The Streetsboro, Ohio-based Step2 manufactures children's toys and home & Garden products, including play kitchens, playhouses, wagons, and swing sets.
The recall covers two Step2 buggy model types, which are listed on the company's Website at www.step2.com.
The affected toys, which were made in the United States, were sold at retail and specialty stores between August 1999 and March 2010, at prices ranging from $29 to $59.
Step2 urged consumers to stop using the recalled buggies immediately.
The company advised those customers who own buggies that have a pin with a yellow knob attached to the base of the handle to contact the company for a free repair kit.
