Summary
Product Recall for Toy-Like Baby Floats presenting a risk of drowning.
The risk
The products present a risk of drowning as toy-like designs may mislead consumers into treating the product as a play item rather than a flotation-related product requiring constant adult supervision. This may increase the risk of misuse, overreliance on the product, reduced caregiver vigilance, unsafe play behaviour, instability, tipping, entrapment, or drowning.
The products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
Action taken
The products have been recalled from end users by TikTok and the listings have been removed.
Advice to consumers
The products have been recalled from end users by TikTok and the listings have been removed.
