McDonald’s Recalls 29 Million STEP-iT Activity Wristbands

McDonald’s issued a recall Tuesday for its STEP-iT Activity Wristbands after more than 70 incidents of skin irritation were discovered. McDonald’s stopped issuing the “STEP-iT” trackers in Happy Meals last week.

Here is a statement from McDonald’s:

Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our customers, including the toys and children’s products we offer them. McDonald’s has decided to voluntarily recall the Step-iT Activity Wristbands in the U.S. and Canada after recently receiving reports of skin irritation and burns upon wearing the wristband. No other toys or products are involved in this voluntary recall, and the recall has no impact on other Happy Meal products in markets outside the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.
