Precautions The Associated Press The older rolling baby walkers are outdated, consumer safety officials said Wednesday, urging parents to instead buy the new generation of safer walkers. In a move designed to cut the growing number of injuries and likely to please manufacturers, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said the old walkers should be tossed away and new safer models bought if they have the label "Meets New Standard."
