- Reason
- It has been determined that the wheels on the baby scale cart can unexpectedly loosen and in the worst case, detach from the cart completely. If this occurs the cart can become unstable and tip over, potentially leading to the scale falling from the cart. If a baby is left unattended in a cart, the baby could fall off the scale and be subjected to several serious injuries.
