CPSC Warns Consumers to Stop Using “Relaxing Baby” Swim Floats Immediately Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Drowning; One Child Death Reported

The “Relaxing Baby” Swim Floats can flip over and/or submerge the occupant underwater, posing a risk of drowning to infants and toddlers.

CPSC is aware of a drowning death of a two-year-old child who was using the hazardous floats.

Wu He/Relaxing Baby, of China, the seller, has been unresponsive to CPSC requests for a recall.

CPSC urges consumers to puncture the plastic in any location where the product can inflate and dispose of the swim float immediately. Do not sell or give away these hazardous swim floats.
