2026-05-13 – A consumer reported that a flyboss baby bouncer seat collapsed while in use, causing a 5-month-old infant to fall and hit her head on the floor. The incident, involving a design defect that created a fall hazard, was filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) SaferProducts.gov database. Product DetailsBrand Name: flyboss Incident OverviewAccording to a report filed with the CPSC on April 25, 2026, a 5-month-old infant was properly secured and sitting in a flyboss baby bouncer seat when the device suddenly collapsed and folded flat. The collapse caused the baby to strike the back of her head on the floor, resulting in a mild injury. The incident occurred while the product was being used as intended for bouncing. The consumer reported that the bouncer seat has a design flaw: when a baby bounces, the base frame flexes. This flexing applies pressure to the locking arm, causing it to slide rearward, while simultaneously depressing the "fold flat for storage" button located on the underside of the frame. The combination of these actions led to the unintended collapse. The product was purchased on Amazon and the consumer retained it for inspection. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: The primary risk is sudden collapse of the bouncer seat while occupied, causing the infant to fall onto a hard surface. Depending on the height of the fall and the surface, injuries can range from minor bumps to more serious head trauma. Who Might Be Affected: Infants and young children using the bouncer seat are directly at risk. The reported incident involved a 5-month-old, but any child within the product's weight limit could be affected if the locking mechanism fails during use. Environmental Triggers: The design defect is triggered by the baby's own bouncing motion. The flexing of the frame, combined with the location of the fold-flat button on the bottom, means that normal use can inadvertently activate the folding mechanism. No external environmental factors are required. Warning Signs: The report indicates that the collapse occurred without prior warning. However, consumers might notice unusual flexing or movement in the base frame during use. Any visible bending or instability of the frame should be considered a warning sign that the product may be at risk of collapsing. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Discontinue use of the flyboss baby bouncer seat to prevent further risk of injury. Do not allow any child to sit in the product until the safety issue is resolved. Preserve the Product: Keep the bouncer seat in its current condition, including any packaging or documentation. The product may be needed for inspection by the manufacturer or CPSC, or as evidence in a potential legal claim. Document the Incident: Take photographs of the product, especially the locking mechanism and base frame. Write down the date, time, and details of the incident, including any injuries sustained. Save receipts or proof of purchase. Seek Medical Attention: If a child suffered any head impact, even if symptoms appear mild, consult a pediatrician to rule out concussion or other hidden injuries. Report to the CPSC: File a report with the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, referencing Report ID 6014247. This helps regulators track potential hazards and may lead to a recall or corrective action. Check for Recalls: Visit CPSC.gov to search for any recalls or safety notices related to flyboss baby bouncer seats or similar products.
