Graco recalls doorway jumpers
By Staff -- Gifts and Dec, August 7, 2009
WASHINGTON—Graco Children’s Products, Atlanta, is recalling approximately 2,400 of its Jump ‘n’ Jive Doorway Jumpers because they pose a choking hazard.
The recalled doorway jumpers include detachable toys that are attached to the jumper straps with strips of hook and loop fabric. The strips of fabric are not permanently attached to the toys and can become detached during use, posing a choking hazard.
The company has received one report of a child removing the fabric strip and placing it in his/her mouth. No injuries have been reported, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recalled doorway jumper includes an interactive musical dance mat and two detachable toys. The model number, 1755544, appears on the carton UPC label and on the underside of the jumper tray. They were made in China.
The jumpers were sold from April 2009 through July 2009 at Babies “R” Us and other children’s specialty retail stores nationwide and online from Amazon.com for about $55.
Consumers are asked to remove and discard the detachable toys and the attaching fabric strips and call the manufacturer for a replacement set of toys. After the toys and fabric strips are removed, consumers can continue to use the jumper and interactive musical dance mat.
