Verified operating brief
Independent boutiques that carry infant mobility products face immediate compliance risk and trapped inventory cash if this walker or another banned baby walker remains on the sales floor, in storage, or in an online catalog. Enforcing stop-sale, quarantine, delisting, and supplier return or refund steps protects margin from unsellable units and lowers regulatory exposure tied to a prohibited category. When purchase records show the named multifunctional walker already went to a customer, prompt customer-notification becomes part of the same workload spike for staff this week.
Until a new briefing clears CMP's evidence bar, this remains the latest verified edition.
