- Do not use it for swimming or bathing.
- Never leave a child alone in or near water, even for a moment.
- This is a safety report rather than a manufacturer recall: the listing has been taken down, but the seller may not contact you. Get in touch with the seller through the marketplace.
- Report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service if the seller does not respond.
Why it matters. Drowning is fast and silent. Bath seats, inflatables and swim aids can give a false sense of security.
