Summary

Product Recall for Badabulle foldable bath seat presenting a risk of choking.

The risk

Batch 051221 has been recalled as the warning label may peel off and create a possible choking hazard if a child were to put it in their mouth. The gap between the seat and the plastic board can cause finger entrapment and the board can separate from the seat, potentially causing injuries. The product also presents a risk of drowning as no warning is provided on the risk of leaving a child sitting unattended on the bath seat during bathing.

The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Action taken

Recall of the product from end users.
