CPSC, Kids II Announce Recall of Bouncer Seats
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Kids II of Alpharetta, Ga., is voluntarily recalling
about 99,000 bouncer seats for in-home repair. The removable toy bar
that attaches to the seat can suddenly release and cause injuries to
babies.
Kids II has received 122 reports of toy bars suddenly releasing
from bouncer seats, resulting in 31 injuries to babies, including a
black eye, a scraped eye, and facial cuts.
Only Kids II bouncer seats with semi-circular toy bars are
recalled. These bouncer seats were sold under the names "Soft Toy
Bouncer Seat" or "Comfort Me Bouncer." The Kids II logo is embroidered
on each seat's crotch strap. The bouncer seats have a ruffled seat pad
in three patterns: a black, white and red cow print; a teddy bear,
rocking horse and toy box print; and a nursery rhyme print. Each pattern
has certain model and lot numbers, which are found on a tag attached to
the seat. The Comfort Me Bouncers feature vibration and soothing sounds,
including music, waves and heartbeat. Each semi-circular toy bar has
three toys. Some of the recalled seats came with white toy bar tethers.
Mass merchandise and juvenile specialty stores nationwide sold the
seats from October 1997 through April 2000 for about $25 to $35.
Consumers should remove the semi-circular toy bars immediately and
contact Kids II for an in-home repair kit. Consumers can continue to use
the bouncer seat for the baby to sit in as long as the toy bar is
removed. Consumers should call Kids II toll-free at (877) 325-7056
between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday for a free
repair kit.
Kids II bouncer seats with rectangular shaped toy bars are not
subject to this recall.
