The recall announced today is related to only using the seat as a carrier and not to how the seat performs while in a car. Parents should continue to use these carriers as car seats. Consumers should not carry the seat by the handle until it has been repaired. Consumers should have the car seat in front of them when they call or access the website. Metal clasps can detach from the bungee cord, causing the unit to fall to the floor.
Babies can suffer injuries from the fall.
Cosco has received 82 reports of the bungee jumper falling to the floor. Fifteen babies suffered bumps, bruises and scratches, the majority of which were to the head. The model number is located on the bottom of the tray. The stationary exerciser, called the Bungee Bouncer Exerciser, is not part of this recall. Both bungee baby jumper models have a multi-colored fabric seat with a white plastic frame with a red foam trim.
