2026-05-20 – A consumer has reported a fall hazard involving the Nuby 5009CS2 wooden push toy, manufactured by Luv n' care, Ltd, on the CPSC SaferProducts.gov database. The incident, which occurred on July 4, 2025, involved the walker tipping over when the child struck an object, resulting in a fall. The product was purchased from Amazon. Product DetailsBrand Name: Nuby Incident OverviewAccording to the CPSC incident report, on July 4, 2025, a consumer was using the Nuby 5009CS2 wooden push toy with a child under close supervision. The child walked the toy into an object, at which point the walker did not grip the floor or stop. Instead, it tipped over, causing the child to fall on top of it. The consumer reported that the same incident occurred on a previous occasion as well, despite very close supervision. The reporter noted that the product appears to lack the ability to maintain stability when it contacts an obstacle, leading to tipping. The consumer gave the product a second chance, but the same failure recurred. The incident resulted in the child receiving first aid from a non-medical professional. The consumer retained the packaging and reported the issue to the CPSC. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: When the push toy contacts an object, it tips over rather than stopping or gripping the floor. This can cause the child to fall onto the toy or the floor, resulting in impact injuries such as bruises, cuts, or head trauma. The lack of a braking or stabilizing mechanism increases the risk of sudden falls. Who Might Be Affected: Children using the walker are most at risk, particularly those learning to walk who may not have the coordination to avoid obstacles. The hazard is present even under adult supervision, as reported in this incident. Environmental Triggers: The tipping hazard is triggered when the toy strikes any fixed object, such as furniture, walls, or door frames. Uneven or non-carpeted surfaces may reduce friction and increase the likelihood of tipping. The product's wooden wheels lack grip, making it prone to sliding and overturning upon impact. Warning Signs: The toy may wobble or tilt when pushed into an object, but the failure can occur suddenly without audible or visual warning. Parents may not anticipate the tip-over until it happens, as the toy appears stable during normal use. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Discontinue use of the Nuby 5009CS2 push toy to prevent further risk of falls and injury to your child. Preserve the Product: Keep the walker in its current condition, including all parts and packaging. This is important for any potential investigation or legal review. Document the Incident: Take photographs of the product and the area where the incident occurred. Write down a detailed account of what happened, including dates and any injuries sustained. Seek Medical Attention: If your child was injured, consult a healthcare provider even if the injury seems minor. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Report to the CPSC: File a report on SaferProducts.gov with the product details and incident description. Include Report ID 6034063 for reference.

Consumers who have experienced injury or property damage from this product may want to speak with a product liability attorney to discuss their legal options. Manufacturer's ResponseLuv n' care, Ltd responded to the incident report, stating that it is difficult to understand how the incident occurred and that this is the first complaint of this nature regarding the product. The company noted that the toy is a wooden push toy with wooden wheels, not motorized or equipped with brakes, and therefore does not have the ability to grip the floor and stop. The manufacturer also referenced the included safety warnings, which advise adult supervision, use on level surfaces, and discontinuation if damaged.
