Which ones are recalled?
Only Kids II bouncer seats with semi-circular toy bars are recalled. These bouncer seats were sold under the names “Soft Toy Bouncer Seat” or “Comfort Me Bouncer.” The Kids II logo is embroidered on each seat’s crotch strap. The bouncer seats have a ruffled seat pad in three patterns: a black, white and red cow print; a teddy bear, rocking horse and toy box print; and a nursery rhyme print. Each pattern has certain model and lot numbers, which are found on a tag attached to the seat. The Comfort Me Bouncers feature vibration and soothing sounds, including music, waves and heartbeat. Each semi-circular toy bar has three toys. Some of the recalled seats came with white toy bar tethers.
About 99,000 units, as CPSC gives them.
