Washington, D.C. Federal regulators announced Aug. 13 that Taleco Gear is recalling baby jumpers, baby swings and a 2 in 1 jumper and swing after determining the products can pose fall and strangulation hazards to infants. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recalled jumpers and swings can become unstable during use, creating a risk of falls and impact injuries. The agency also says hanging restraint straps and openings in the seats may present strangulation dangers. The recall covers Taleco Gear branded baby jumpers, baby swings and the combined 2 in 1 jumper and swing. The CPSC notice does not list specific model numbers or retailers; consumers should consult the agency’s recall page for full details. Parents and caregivers are urged to immediately stop using the affected products. The CPSC says consumers should contact Taleco Gear for instructions on obtaining a refund or a replacement unit. The agency did not report any injuries or deaths in the announcement, but emphasized the seriousness of the hazards and recommended that families follow the manufacturer’s remedy offer rather than attempt repairs or modifications at home. Because seat openings and hanging straps are implicated in the strangulation risk, the CPSC recommends keeping infants away from similar devices until consumers can verify they are not part of the recall and that all restraints meet current safety guidelines.
