Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

BATTOP is recalling about 5,000 foldable infant bath seats sold exclusively on Amazon.com from July 2020 through October 2020 for about $40. The recalled seats are plastic with white seats and blue, green, or gray restraint bars, featuring four white suction cups on the bottom. The model number BB2206 is located on a sticker on the back of the seats, which also includes a warning to never leave a child unattended. The product packaging identifies the manufacturer as DONGGUAN BABYCARE PRODUCTS CO., LTD., and the items were made in China.

The recall was issued because the bath seats fail to meet the federal safety standard for infant bath seats, including requirements for stability. The seats can tip over while in use, which poses a drowning hazard to babies. CPSC has not reported any incidents or injuries associated with the recalled product.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled infant bath seats. They should contact BATTOP by e-mail at [email protected] for instructions on returning the bath seats with free shipping to receive a full refund. Amazon is contacting all known purchasers directly on behalf of BATTOP.
