Toy-Like Baby Floats sold via TikTok
- Affected
- Baby floats designed to resemble toys, animals, cartoon characters, inflatable play items, ride-on toys, novelty products, or other entertainment-oriented products. This includes floats with playful shapes, animal heads, decorative elements, or designs that may cause the product to be perceived as a toy rather than a safety-sensitive water product.
- The problem
- The products present a risk of drowning as toy-like designs may mislead consumers into treating the product as a play item rather than a flotation-related product requiring constant adult supervision.
- What to do
- We recommend that consumers stop using the recalled products immediately and keep them out of reach of children. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.
