Summary
CPSC records recall 01117, published March 29, 2001. Reported units: About 171,000 bungee baby jumpers and 100,600 baby wipe warmers.
What's the hazard
The Bungee Baby Jumper allows a baby to bounce while supported in a seat by an elastic "bungee cord," suspended from a doorway. Metal clasps can detach from the bungee cord, causing the unit to fall to the floor. Babies can suffer injuries from the fall. A wipe warmer is an electric appliance that warms baby wipes. Cracks in the interior basin of these wipe warmers can allow moisture to contact the electrical components. Consumers touching the wipes could receive an electrical shock.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the bungee baby jumpers immediately and contact Cosco. The repair kit is no longer available. A new cash incentive is being offered. Do not use these products. Please discard or destroy these products. Consumers should unplug and stop using the wipe warmers immediately and contact Safety 1st to receive a free liner for the interior basin that will prevent cracking.
