Recalls on Baby Cribs and Floats

July 6th, 2009 by

Recently there have been two large scale recalls effecting parents and young children in the US.  A few days ago the US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a voluntary recall for 14 models of inflatable floats for babies in pools manufactured by Aqua Leisure Industries.  The leg straps on the floating devices can tear, exposing the child to the hazard of drowning.  There have been 31 reports of this happening and so far no resulting injuries.

The floats have been distributed by large chain stores ranging from Target, Toys “R” Us, Wal-Mart, Dollar General, Kmart, Walgreens, Ace Hardware and Bed Bath & Beyond.  They were on the market from 2002 to 2009.  If you think that you own any of these products you need to discontinue use and send them back to the company.  The products come in a verity of shapes and sizes including boats and fish.

Be sure to check back with us for more information on this and other recalls that effect babies and children.
