The product
The recalled baby jumpers have a blue canvas seat, yellow straps, and a blue plastic clamp that attaches to an interior door frame. The recalled unit is the Bright Starts Jammin' Jumper with model number 6607, which can be found on a white warning label on the canvas seat. The words "Bright Starts" are printed on the plastic housing that contains the clamp. The jumper was sold with a play mat that makes sounds when the child jumps on it.
What can happen

To receive a free replacement product, consumers should cut out the white warning label from the canvas seat and mail the label and the one-inch portion of the yellow strap to Kids II at 555 North Point Center East, Suite 600, Alpharetta, GA 30022.
