Plain-English summary

Abond Group, of Canada, is recalling Tubeez Baby Bath Support Seats due to a drowning hazard. The product is a rigid plastic seat attached to a foam mat for use in the bathtub. The foam mat is either blue (model B9150BL) or gray (model B9150GY) and features multiple suction cups on the underside. The affected seats have date codes 1251-0916-enj-nacn or 1434-0617-enj-nacn printed on the underside of the mat.

The bath support seat fails to meet the federal safety standard, including requirements for stability. The bath seat can tip over or an infant can slip underneath the front support, which poses a drowning hazard. No injuries have been reported.

About 80 units were sold in the United States, in addition to about 5,109 units sold in Canada. The seats were sold at Bealls Outlets nationwide and La Bebe Boutique in Midland, Texas, from October 2017 through March 2018 for about $40. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bath support seats and contact Abond Group for a full refund.
