Bath Seats
Infant bath seats are used in a sink or tub to provide back and front support to bathe a seated infant. They are marketed for use with infants between 5 and 10 months of age. There are three primary hazards with baby bath seats that typically occur when the child is left unattended, even for a short period of time: the bath seat becomes unstable and tips the child over into the water; the child slips through the bath seat leg opening into the water; or the child attempts to climb out and falls into the water. The CPSC is aware of 29 deaths associated with baby bath seats and similar products during 2006 – 2008. Bath seats or bath rings that are consigned with Just Between Friends must meet the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standard. Bath seats that do not meet the standard: 1) attach to the tub floor with suction cups and/or 2) were made before December 6, 2010 (see date code stamp on the bottom of the product.) Safety warnings must be printed somewhere on the bath seat product. Just Between Friends will not accept bath seats or bath rings that do not meet the safety standard. The CPSC considers bath seats that do not meet the standard to be a drowning hazard. See below for examples of bath seats that do not meet the CPSC safety standard and examples of some that do.
This is not a complete list, please see some examples that DO NOT meet standards below:
Under the guidance of the Consumer and Product Safety Commission (CPSC), JBF has adapted a strict safety standard of not selling Otteroo LUMI and MINI at our sales events. The CPSC has found that the Otteroo can deflate during use or storage. This can cause a child to slide out into the water.
