41,100 baby jumpers and swings were recalled after 52 fall and strangulation reports

A line of baby jumpers and swings sold for years through some of the country’s largest retailers has been pulled from the market after dozens of reports that the products can tip over or trap an infant in ways that risk serious injury. The recall covers tens of thousands of units already in homes, and the reported harm ranges from bumps and bruises to strangulation hazards built into the design itself. Parents who own one of the affected products are being told to stop using it immediately rather than wait for a warning sign to appear.

The products span three configurations sold under the same brand: a stand-alone baby jumper, a stand-alone baby swing, and two versions of a combined jumper-and-swing unit that converts between the two uses. All of them share the same underlying stability and strap design that regulators say created the hazard, which is why the recall covers every version rather than a single model.

Two Separate Hazards in the Same Product Line

Per the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall notice, the baby jumper, baby swing, and 2-in-1 combination unit can become unstable, creating fall and impact hazards, while the hanging restraint straps and seat openings separately pose a strangulation risk. Those are two distinct engineering problems rather than one, which is notable because a parent who successfully avoided a tip-over incident could still be exposed to the strap hazard, and vice versa. The company has received at least 52 reports describing fall, impact, or strangulation incidents, including at least 32 reports of injuries such as head bumps and a bloody nose.

Which Models and Colors Are Covered

The recall applies to model numbers “jumper-01” and “swing-1,” which cover the stand-alone jumper, the stand-alone swing, and both configurations of the 2-in-1 unit, sold in black, white, gray, pink, blue, and green. The model number is sewn into the fabric wash-and-care label on the seat cover, which is the fastest way for a parent to check a unit already assembled in a living room or nursery without having to dig up a receipt. The products were sold through Amazon, Walmart, and the manufacturer’s own website between April 2021 and July 2026, priced between $65 and $120, meaning some units have been in circulation, and in daily use, for several years.

How the Refund Process Works

Unlike recalls that offer a replacement part or a repair kit, this one calls for consumers to destroy the recalled product and photograph the destroyed parts in order to receive a full refund. That step is meant to keep a hazardous jumper or swing from being resold or passed along secondhand once the recall is public, since a hand-me-down sale would carry the same risks without the original buyer’s awareness of the notice. Parents can start the process by contacting the manufacturer through its dedicated recall email address or its website’s recall information page, where the specific instructions and any required documentation are laid out.

Why Stability and Strap Design Matter Most in Infant Gear

Baby jumpers and swings are used during exactly the developmental window when infants are gaining mobility but cannot yet reliably protect themselves, which is why regulators treat instability and restraint-strap failures as more urgent than they might seem for adult furniture. A product that tips because of an uneven base or that leaves a gap around the neck or torso can turn a few unsupervised minutes into a serious incident. This recall’s dual hazard, covering both the frame and the fabric restraint system, is part of why it applies across the entire product family rather than to a single flawed batch, and why the manufacturer’s remedy asks for outright destruction of the unit rather than a smaller fix.

A Recall That Crosses the Border

The recall was issued jointly with Canadian regulators, who separately flagged roughly 150 additional units sold north of the border under the same model numbers. Coordinated recalls of this kind typically happen when a product was distributed by the same manufacturer or importer across both countries’ markets, and they allow regulators in each country to publish matching safety information so that a consumer who bought a unit while traveling, or through a retailer that ships across the border, is still covered by the same remedy process rather than falling into a gap between two separate national systems.

What to Check Before the Next Nap or Playtime

Parents who are unsure whether a jumper or swing already in use at home is covered by the recall can look for the model number sewn into the seat’s wash-and-care label, then cross-check it against the two flagged numbers rather than relying on the product’s marketing name alone, since the same physical design was sold under jumper, swing, and combination branding. Given that the hazard involves both structural stability and the strap and seat-opening design, safety advocates generally recommend stopping use of a flagged unit immediately rather than trying to assess informally whether a particular unit still “feels” sturdy, since the instability and strangulation risks described in the recall were not necessarily visible defects that a parent would notice during normal use.
