“James Leckey MyWay Walker Chassis Recall: Detached Casters Hazard.” GovInfoNow, updated October 13, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/63181-james-leckey-design-myway-walker-chassis-recall-caster-detachment-risk. Based on FDA recall #Z-1687-2021 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-1687-2021%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The primary hazard is a failure of the welds connecting the casters to the rear legs of the walker. When these welds fail, the casters detach, which can cause the device to become unstable or collapse while in use, posing a fall risk to the child user.
Who’s affected
Owners of the MyWay Walker Chassis, specifically those with catalog codes S1 (173-1600/PMWS1x), S2 (173-2600/PMWS2x), or S3 (173-3600/PMWS3x) and serial numbers between 220568 and 272111. These devices are used by children who require supportive walking assistance.
How to tell if you have this one
Check if your product is a MyWay Walker Chassis with catalog codes S1 (173-1600/PMWS1x), S2 (173-2600/PMWS2x), or S3 (173-3600/PMWS3x). Verify the serial number is between 220568 and 272111, indicating manufacture between 08/01/2018 and 11/26/2020. These units were distributed worldwide, including in the U.S., Italy, Norway, Australia, and other listed countries.
