The Baby Einstein product that had been sold since May 2010 has been recalled by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) this Tuesday after reports of shocking injuries given to children and their parents who played alongside them.

The baby toy has a sun that is on the baby's right side. Due to its hard and sharp edges, along with the speed of the rebound, it can knock out the teeth of parents, create bruises and lacerations on the baby's face, and—in the unfortunate event of the baby giving it an initial push too strong—it will give linear fractures to the baby's skull. Since its debut in the stores, the toy has created 100 cases of reported incidents.

The toy named "Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper" has a model number of 90564. Parents who have been fortunate enough not to have an accident yet, can look under the tag attached to the bottom of the seat.

CPSC has issued a statement that parents should refrain from using the product immediately, and call the toll free number (877) 325-7056 for a replacement from Kids II. They are available 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time (5 AM to 2 PM Pacific Time) Monday through Friday.

These jumpers were sold in Target, Toys R Us, and other stores across the nation, and could also be bought from Amazon.com since May 2010, for the price of approximately $90.

There have been about 400,000 units sold in the U.S. and 85,000 units sold in Canada. Kids II, Inc. had imported the newborn's toys from China to Atlanta, GA where they are stationed. Baby Einstein, the manufacturers were owned by Disney and had a positive reputation for the quality of their toys prior to these incidents.
