Bungee Baby Jumpers and Wipe Warmers

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Cosco is recalling Bungee Baby Jumpers model numbers 04-461 and 04-468 because metal clasps can detach from the bungee cord, causing the unit to fall and potentially injure babies. Safety 1st is recalling Wipe Warmer model number 26133 manufactured between December 1999 and January 2001 because cracks in the interior basin can allow moisture to contact electrical components, posing a shock hazard to consumers who touch the wipes. The Bungee Baby Jumper is identifiable by its multi-colored fabric seat with white plastic frame, red foam trim, yellow cords, blue strap holder marked "Cosco," yellow strap, and green bungee cord attached to a blue door hook. The Wipe Warmer features a yellow duck and "especially for baby" text on the lower left corner, with the manufacturing date code located on the bottom below the "CAUTION" items.

Consumers with the recalled Bungee Baby Jumpers should stop using them immediately, discard or destroy the products, and contact Cosco, which is offering a cash incentive. Consumers with the recalled Wipe Warmer should unplug and stop using it immediately and contact Safety 1st to receive a free liner for the interior basin that will prevent cracking.

Hazard

The Bungee Baby Jumper allows a baby to bounce while supported in a seat by an elastic "bungee cord," suspended from a doorway. Metal clasps can detach from the bungee cord, causing the unit to fall to the floor. Babies can suffer injuries from the fall. A wipe warmer is an electric appliance that warms baby wipes. Cracks in the interior basin of these wipe warmers can allow moisture to contact the electrical components. Consumers touching the wipes could receive an electrical shock.

What should I do?

Consumers should stop using the bungee baby jumpers immediately and contact Cosco. The repair kit is no longer available. A new cash incentive is being offered. Do not use these products. Please discard or destroy these products. Consumers should unplug and stop using the wipe warmers immediately and contact Safety 1st to receive a free liner for the interior basin that will prevent cracking.

Details from the source

Cosco Bungee Baby Jumpers: Only model numbers 04-461 and 04-468 are being recalled. The model number is located on the bottom of the tray. Model number 04-461 is the Bungee Jumper and model 04-468 is the Bungee Combo Pack, which consists of the Bungee Jumper and parts to convert the Bungee Jumper to a stationary exerciser. The stationary exerciser, called the Bungee Bouncer Exerciser, is not part of this recall. Both bungee baby jumper models have a multi-colored fabric seat with a white plastic frame with a red foam trim. Three yellow cords connect the seat to a blue plastic strap holder, which says "Cosco." Above the blue plastic strap holder is a thick yellow strap, which connects to a green bungee cord. The bungee cord attaches to a blue door hook. Safety 1st Wipe Warmer: Only model number 26133 manufactured from December 1999 through January 2001 is being recalled. The manufacturing date, a six-digit code (year, month, day), is on the bottom of the unit written below the box containing "CAUTION" items and the model number. A yellow duck and the words "especially for baby" are located on the lower left corner of the unit. The wipe warmer was sold with a diaper organizer that attaches to the bottom of the unit.
