CPSC, Kids II Inc. Announce Recall of Doorway Baby Jumpers

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announces the following recall in voluntary cooperation with the firm below. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Bright Starts Jammin' Jumpers

Units: 29,300

Distributor: Kids II Inc., of Alpharetta, Ga.

Hazard: The plastic clamp that attaches the jumper seat to a door frame can break, which can cause the unit to fall to the floor. This poses an injury hazard to young children.

Incidents/Injuries: Kids II has received 49 reports of the clamp breaking with 12 reported injuries, including a possible mild concussion, skinned knee, cut lips, and bumps and bruises.

Description: The recalled baby jumpers have a blue canvas seat, yellow straps, and a blue plastic clamp that attaches to an interior door frame. The recalled unit is the Bright Starts Jammin' Jumper with model number 6607, which can be found on a white warning label on the canvas seat. The words "Bright Starts" are printed on the plastic housing that contains the clamp. The jumper was sold with a play mat that makes sounds when the child jumps on it.

Sold at: Mass merchandise and juvenile specialty stores nationwide from December 2003 through May 2005 for about $30.

Manufactured in: China

Remedy: Consumers should stop using the product immediately and disable the jumper by cutting a one-inch portion of the yellow strap just below the clamp. To receive a free replacement product, consumers should cut out the white warning label from the canvas seat and mail the label and the one-inch portion of the yellow strap to Kids II at 555 North Point Center East, Suite 600, Alpharetta, GA 30022.
