January 7, 2026 – A recent incident report details a frightening malfunction involving the Flyboss CR012 3-in-1 portable baby bouncer, where the product allegedly collapsed while an infant was inside, leading to the baby hitting their head on the floor. This incident, reported by a concerned parent, highlights significant safety concerns, especially given the product’s popularity and the vulnerability of its intended users—infants. The parent also noted discovering multiple similar complaints across online reviews and social media.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On December 15, 2025, a consumer reported a severe safety incident involving their Flyboss CR012 portable baby bouncer. The parent stated that the bouncer, which was locked into its lowest setting, unexpectedly collapsed. As a result, their 4-month-old son, weighing 15 lbs (well within the product’s stated 33 lb weight limit), fell and struck his head on a hardwood floor. The parent described the experience as “truly terrifying” and emphasized the product’s inherent danger.
Following the incident, the parent discovered a concerning pattern of similar complaints. They observed numerous 1-star reviews under the product listing on Amazon, with many users describing identical experiences of the bouncer collapsing and their babies hitting their heads. Additionally, after sharing their experience on a social media platform, five other individuals contacted them to report that the same malfunction had occurred with their very young children. The consumer also noted sending a recall card to the manufacturer but reported receiving no contact in response.
Safety Concerns
This incident report raises critical safety concerns, particularly for a product designed for infants:
- Immediate Head Trauma Risk: The primary and most severe risk is the potential for infants to sustain head injuries, including concussions, contusions, or even skull fractures, when the bouncer unexpectedly collapses. For a 4-month-old, any impact to the head can have serious, long-lasting consequences.
- Structural Integrity Failure: The core concern is the apparent failure of the bouncer’s locking mechanism or structural integrity, causing it to collapse from a set position. This indicates a fundamental design or manufacturing defect that compromises the product’s basic safety function.
- Vulnerability of Infants: Infants, especially those under six months, have limited head and neck control and are entirely dependent on product safety. A sudden collapse leaves them defenseless against injury.
- Misleading Weight Limit: Although the product specifies a weight limit of 33 lbs, incidents occurring with babies significantly below this limit (e.g., 15 lbs) suggest that the product may not safely support even lighter infants, making the advertised weight limit potentially misleading or unsafe.
- Lack of Redundancy: A critical safety product like a baby bouncer should ideally have redundant safety mechanisms to prevent complete collapse even if one component fails. The reported incidents suggest such redundancy may be absent or ineffective.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who own the Flyboss CR012 3-in-1 portable baby bouncer should take immediate action:
- Stop Using Immediately: If you own this product, cease all use immediately, regardless of your child’s age or weight. Do not place an infant in this bouncer.
- Check Your Product: Verify if your baby bouncer is the Flyboss CR012 model. This information is typically found on a label on the product’s frame or underside.
- Report Incidents: If you or someone you know has experienced a similar incident or any malfunction with this product, report it immediately to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.cpsc.gov. Your report is vital for initiating investigations and potential recalls.
- Seek Medical Attention: If your child has experienced a fall or injury due to a product malfunction, seek immediate medical attention from a healthcare professional to assess and treat any potential injuries.
- Retain Product and Documentation: Do not discard the product or any packaging, instructions, or purchase receipts. This evidence may be crucial for any future investigation or legal action.
