WASHINGTON--The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and BabySwede LLC have announced a voluntary recall of the BabyBjörn® Babysitter Balance and BabyBjörn® Babysitter Balance Air bouncer chairs.
These bouncing chairs for babies have a red safety latch on the height adjustment mechanism and a plastic footrest with the BabyBjörn® logo.
Small, sharp metal objects found in the padded area of the bouncer chair can protrude, posing a laceration hazard to children.
About 6,500 chairs are included in the recall.
Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
The models and colors affected are:
- BabyBjörn® Babysitter Balance: Black/Red, Model #009064US, Black/Silver; Model #009065US, Dark Blue/Blue; Model #009066US, Brown/Beige; Model #009069US.
- BabyBjörn® Babysitter Balance Air: White, Model 009001US
They were sold by baby retailers and various mass merchants nationwide, online retailers and catalogs from September 2008 through July 2009.
The Babysitter Balance sold for about $170, and the Babysitter Balance Air for about $190.
They were manufactured in Sweden.
Consumers should immediately stop using both Babysitter Balance and Babysitter Balance Air bouncer chairs and contact BabySwede LLC for instructions on how to return the recalled products for inspection and relabeling.
If any metal pieces are found through inspection, the consumer will be provided with a new BabyBjörn® Babysitter Balance product.
