Millions of baby floats recalled

About 4 million baby floats manufactured by Aqua Leisure Industries are getting recalled because of a drowning hazard. This, right before the July 4th holiday weekend.

The problem here is that the leg straps in the seat of the float can tear. This can cause kids to unexpectedly fall into the water - an obvious drowning risk. There have been 31 reports of float seats tearing, causing children to fall into or under the water. No injuries have been reported, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The floats come in a range of styles and colors. Some examples include the Baby & Me Combo, the Deluxe Toddler Racer, the Sunshade Buggy and the Quacker Float. for specific model numbers, go to the CPSC’s website at CPSC.gov.

They were sold at retailers nationwide, including Target, Toys "R" Us, Wal-Mart, Dollar General, Kmart, Walgreens, Ace Hardware and Bed, Bath & Beyond from December 2002 through June 2009.

Look for the names and model numbers that should be on the back of the float.

If you have one of these floats at home, stop using them. Call Aqua-Leisure for a full refund at (866) 807-3998. Or, go to their website at aqualeisure.com.
