Summary

Chelsea & Scott is recalling about 1,950 Idea Baby brand infant bath seats because they fail to meet federal safety standards for stability. These seats can tip over during use, which poses a serious risk of drowning for babies. The white plastic seats with blue trim were sold exclusively online at Onestepahead.com between February and May 2013 for about $40. Consumers should immediately stop using these seats and contact the company for a full refund.

Risk

The bath seat can tip over while in use, potentially submerging an infant underwater where they cannot right themselves, posing a drowning hazard. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your infant bath seat to see if it is the Idea Baby brand made for One Step Ahead. The seat is white plastic with blue trim, has four suction cups on the bottom, and features two blue star-shaped spinning toys on the front rail.
  2. Look for a round, inset plastic disc between the two spinning toys that includes the text: 'www.onestepahead.com', 'One Step Ahead', 'Idea Baby', and 'Made in Italy'.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled bath seat and take it away from children.
  4. Contact Chelsea & Scott toll-free at (866) 271-4536 between 8 a.m. and midnight Monday through Friday, or 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, for instructions on how to receive a full refund.
