The hazard: Drowning hazard

This recall is about a drowning risk, which means the product cannot be made safe by using it more carefully.

What the notice says: The recalled bath seats violate the mandatory standard for infant bath seats because they are unstable and can tip over while in use, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to drowning.

Why it matters: The product can fail in or near water, or it suggests a level of safety it cannot deliver. Drowning is fast and quiet, and a flotation aid fails at exactly the moment it is being relied on.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Get the child out of the water, call 911, and start rescue breaths or CPR if they are not breathing. Any child who had to be rescued from water should be assessed by a clinician even if they seem fine, because inhaled water can cause breathing problems hours later.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Drowning

Onthewei — This recall is about a drowning risk, which means the product cannot be made safe by using it more carefully.

  1. Stop using the product in or near water immediately.
  2. Keep a small child within arm’s reach in any water, including baths and paddling pools.
  3. Follow the remedy on this page and do not pass the product on.
  4. Empty paddling pools, buckets and tubs and store them upside down when they are not in use.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled bath seats immediately and contact ONTHEWEI for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the bath seat by writing in permanent marker "RECALLED" on the front of the bath seat, disassembling it by removing the back rest and arm restraints and cutting the three suction cups on the seat's underside and send a photo of the destroyed bath seat showing the marked product to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.
