What to do now

Mambobaby Baby Float Lite could cause injury, for example from sharp edges, parts breaking, or the product failing in use.

  1. Put it out of use now.
  2. Check whether the notice offers a repair or replacement part before you discard it.
  3. Because the product was found unsafe on an online marketplace, use the platform’s order page to contact the seller.
  4. Report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service if the seller does not respond.

Why it matters. Products that break, pinch, cut or fail suddenly can cause injuries ranging from cuts to fractures.

Getting your money back

A product safety report usually means the product was bought online and the marketplace has removed the listing. Ask the seller for a refund through the platform where you bought it; many marketplaces have their own buyer protection.

If you paid by credit card and it cost over £100, Section 75 may apply; otherwise your bank may be able to raise a chargeback.
