Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Jumping-Jacks Shoes, Inc., Monett, Missouri, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling approximately 45,000 of its "Baby Jacks" Bean Bag cushions because of a suffocation risk. The Commission has received 19 reports that an infant was found dead lying face-down on an infant bean bag cushion, of which one (1) death allegedly involves a Jumping-Jacks product.
The Baby Jacks cushion is a fabric covered, polystyrene pellet-filled cushion intended for use with infants. The manufacturer's name is attached to the product along with information concerning fiber content.
Approximately 45,000 Baby Jacks cushions were sold nationwide from 1985 through February 1990 in Jumping-Jacks Shoes and other small retail stores for about $15.00.
Jumping-Jacks and the Commission staff urge consumers to stop using these cushions immediately.
Consumers who have a Baby Jacks Bean Bag cushion may return it to the place of purchase for a refund.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
