Leckey’s first priority is to our customers and children, and that includes the safe and effective use of our products and a commitment to improve our products’ performance and quality.
It is through honouring this commitment that Leckey has taken the decision to initiate a voluntary Field Safety Notice in response to a small number of reports (<1%) of MyWay Walker castors becoming loose from the rear leg of the chassis.
To date there have been no reported injuries and we are taking all reasonably practicable but proactive corrective action to minimise any future risk of injury.
Full details of the Field Safety Notice are available below, including details of arrangements for the fitting of replacement legs.

In the meantime, MyWay Walkers can still be used, paying great attention to pre-use inspection. Please read the field safety notice carefully for further details.
