The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a recall for two infant products that pose serious safety risks, including potential drowning and entrapment.
Bath Seat Recall
The first recalled item is a bath seat sold by BenTalk, named YCXXKJ Baby Bath Seats. The seat, available in blue, gray, pink, and yellow, features detachable arms, suction cups on the bottom, and three toys—a duck, a turtle, and a whale. The product also bears the printed model “YD -1958” on its back. CPSC officials warned that the seat is unstable and can tip over while a child is in the bath, potentially causing serious injury or death by drowning.
Recall instructions paragraph: “The CPSC urges owners to stop using the bath seat immediately and contact BenTalk for a full refund. The recall notice instructs consumers to send two photos to BenTalk at [email protected]. The first photo must have \”Recalled\” written on the front of the seat in permanent marker, and the second photo should show the seat disassembled with components removed.”
Walker Recall
The second recalled product is an infant walker sold by BaoD, labeled Uuoeebb Infant Walkers. The walkers, sold in gray, black, and pink, carry the production batch number 7654 under the seat. CPSC officials cited safety violations, noting that the walkers are small enough to fit through a standard doorway, creating a \”deadly fall hazard\” if a child passes through a doorframe near stairs. Additionally, the walkers have leg openings that allow a child to slip down until the head can become entrapped, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
Recall instructions paragraph: “Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the walkers and disassemble them, remove the fabric seat, write \”Recalled\” on the top of the tray in permanent marker, and email a photo to BaoD at [email protected]. The recalled walkers can then be disposed of following local waste disposal rules.”
Key Takeaways
- Both products were sold on Amazon.com and violate mandatory U.S. safety standards.
- The bath seat’s instability could lead to drowning; the walker’s design creates fall and entrapment hazards.
- Owners should stop use, follow photo instructions, and contact the respective companies for refunds.
Closing paragraph: “The recall highlights the importance of vigilance when selecting infant products and underscores the CPSC’s role in protecting children from hazardous items.”
