A popular Kmart baby bouncer has been urgently recalled over fears it could seriously harm or injure a young child.

Product Safety Australia issued the alert on the ANKO Gravity Bouncer from the discount store on Wednesday night, stating a defect on the locking clip between the base of the seat and the stand could cause the baby seat to collapse.

“If the locking clip between the base of the seat and the stand is not correctly released prior to folding, damage could occur to the product, resulting in possible collapse upon subsequent uses,” the notice reads.

“If the product collapses, there is a risk of an injury to a young child.”
