A company is recalling its bath product for babies after a defect was discovered that could lead to tragedy.

The Otteroo Inflatable Baby Float is being recalled after it was found that the seam on the flotation device can leak air and deflate, according to the CPSC. A total of 54 reports of a broken seam were made, which poses a risk of drowning for babies.

The Otteroo Inflatable Baby Float is an inflatable round ring made of clear and blue plastic material. It has two air chambers that fasten around a baby’s neck with a white buckle. The floats have a chin rest, two handles and two circular openings on the back of the ring to allow the device to expand as the child grows with age. There are three colorful balls that move freely around inside the ring.  The name “Otteroo” is imprinted on the top of the float in large, orange letters with an Otter logo.

The recalled products were sold on Otteroo.com and Amazon.com and Zulily.com from January 2014 through July 2014 for about $35.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled inflatable baby floats and contact the firm to receive a free replacement. Contact Otteroo Corp. collect (415) 236-5388 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or online www.otteroo.com and click on “Safety” at the bottom of the page for more information.
