The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall on August 13, 2026 for Taleco Gear baby jumpers and swings. Approximately 41,100 units are affected in the United States, with an additional 150 in Canada. The recall covers three separate hazard types: product instability that poses fall and impact risks, hanging restraint straps that create a strangulation hazard, and seat openings sized to create an entrapment risk for infants.

If you have one of these products at home, the action is the same regardless of which hazard applies to your specific unit: stop using it immediately, contact Taleco Gear for a full refund, and destroy the product. Do not donate it, sell it, or give it away.

The Three Hazards Explained

This recall is unusual in covering three distinct hazard types in a single announcement, which reflects the range of safety concerns identified across the product line:

The first hazard is product instability. Some units can become unstable during use, creating a fall and impact risk for the infant inside. A collapsing or tipping product poses direct injury risk from the fall itself as well as from the product's structure.

The second hazard involves the hanging restraint straps. When straps designed to secure the infant are positioned in a way that creates a loop or hanging element near the child's neck or head, the risk of strangulation becomes real — particularly for infants who cannot reposition themselves.

The third hazard is the seat opening size. If the openings in the seat structure are large enough for an infant's body to pass through in a way that could trap or compress their head or neck, entrapment becomes the risk. This hazard type has been associated with fatalities in similar CPSC actions involving other infant products.

Quick Reference: What to Do

Sharing This Recall

Because these products were sold across multiple major retailers over a five-year window, many families who own one may not receive direct notification of this recall. Amazon and Walmart have recall notification systems, but they are not guaranteed to reach every affected customer — particularly if email addresses have changed, accounts have been updated, or the purchase was made as a gift.

If you know a family with a baby or infant at home who may have purchased one of these products, sharing this information directly is one of the fastest ways to get the word out. Recalls of infant products move through social networks faster when parents share within their communities.

What's Next

Families who have purchased a Taleco Gear baby jumper or swing should act immediately: stop use, locate the model number, and initiate contact with Taleco Gear for a refund. The CPSC's recall page at CPSC.gov contains the recall number and direct contact information for the company.

The CPSC maintains a searchable recall database at CPSC.gov that Colorado Springs families can bookmark and check regularly. Recalls of infant and toddler products happen throughout the year, and not all of them generate the same level of news coverage. The CPSC database is the authoritative source for recall status, affected product details, and remedy information.

If you have experienced an incident with a Taleco Gear product — even if it did not result in injury — you can report it directly to the CPSC through the SaferProducts.gov portal. Those reports contribute to the data the CPSC uses to evaluate product safety and initiate recalls.
