Flyboss baby bouncers collapsed 191 times, and at least 20 infants needed medical care

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has received 191 reports of Flyboss infant bouncers collapsing while in use, and at least 20 infants required medical attention afterward. In 115 of those reports, a baby’s head struck the surface beneath the bouncer, the agency said in a warning issued September 10.

The warning is not a recall. The importer has not answered the agency’s requests, so no refund, repair or replacement exists, and the commission is telling owners of roughly 14,200 units to stop using them and throw them away.

Reports of collapse, head strikes and medical visits

The CPSC warning describes the hazard as “a risk of impact injury to infants in the bouncer” caused by collapse during use. The figures are reports the agency received, not a count of confirmed failures or a medical audit, and the agency does not break down what injuries the 20 or more infants sustained. Consumer reports of this kind reach the commission through channels such as the SaferProducts.gov database, which lets the public file complaints that staff investigators review to decide what action to take.

The Flyboss product is a lightweight bouncer sold in off-white, gray and beige with three height settings and an accessory bar that holds hanging toys shaped like moons, stars or animals. Media coverage from Medical Daily identified the listing as the Flyboss 3-in-1 Portable Baby Bouncer and Rocker Chair. The CPSC said it was manufactured in China. Put in proportion, the head-strike count is about 60 percent of the 191 collapse reports (115 of 191), and the 20-plus medical cases are roughly one in ten, though the agency did not say whether those figures overlap or how many of the reports involved injury at all. News 12 phrased the count as “191 reports of the bouncers collapsing, including 115 cases in which a baby’s head struck the surface below.”

Amazon sales, a Wyoming importer and no refund

The bouncers were sold on Amazon.com from September 2024 through August 2026 at prices between $40 and $110, and they also turned up on eBay.com, according to the CPSC. The agency named the importer as Dougllass LLC of Sheridan, Wyoming, and said the company was unresponsive to its recall requests. WKYT quoted officials as saying the importer had “allegedly been unresponsive to CPSC requests for recall or information.”

That silence is what turned a typical recall into a bare warning. Under a normal recall, a firm agrees to a remedy with the agency and announces it jointly. Here, the CPSC published its findings alone and advised consumers directly: “stop using the Flyboss infant bouncers immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products.” The instruction to avoid resale matters because the seat has moved through secondary marketplaces as well as Amazon.

The agency’s wording leaves one question unanswered in the public record: how many of the roughly 14,200 units remain in homes, and how many have already been passed on. The CPSC did not report a figure.

The federal bouncer rule and the family-level advice

Infant bouncer seats sold in the United States fall under a federal safety rule, 16 CFR Part 1229, which incorporates the voluntary industry specification ASTM F2167-22 and was last updated on September 6, 2022. The CPSC’s business guidance defines a bouncer seat as a “freestanding product intended to support an occupant in a reclined position to facilitate bouncing,” for infants of roughly 0 to 6 months, and says the standard covers structural integrity through drop tests, functional restraint systems, stability, and latching, and that manufacturers must certify compliance with a Children’s Product Certificate. The Flyboss warning does not state whether these bouncers met that standard or whether the importer issued a certificate.

For a family that owns one, the practical advice from the news coverage is narrower than the regulatory question. Medical Daily relayed guidance that babies under 12 months who hit their heads should be checked by a physician if signs such as a bulging soft spot, excessive swelling, unusual fussiness, vomiting or any loss of consciousness appear, with 911 for seizures, breathing trouble or unresponsiveness. The CPSC hotline is 800-638-2772, and incidents can be reported on SaferProducts.gov.

The warning is now 18 days old, and no recall, refund or importer statement had been reported in the coverage reviewed as of September 28. The count could rise, since the 191 reports and 20 medical cases reflect only what consumers have chosen to tell the agency so far, and the sales window that ended in August 2026 was only weeks before the warning went out. Whether Dougllass LLC ever responds, and whether Amazon’s listings have been removed, is not addressed in the sources reviewed.
