Otteroo Recalls Baby Floats Due to Drowning Risk from Deflations (Recall Alert)

Agency Publication Date: July 1, 2015

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Otteroo is recalling about 3,000 Inflatable Baby Floats because the seams on the flotation ring can leak air and cause the device to deflate unexpectedly. These clear and blue plastic rings, sold between January and July 2014, feature an orange "Otteroo" logo and were distributed through Otteroo.com, Amazon.com, and Zulily.com. While 54 reports of broken seams have been received, no injuries have been reported yet. Consumers who have these floats should immediately stop using them and contact Otteroo for a free replacement.

Risk

The seams on the inflatable ring can fail and leak air, causing the device to lose buoyancy and deflate. This poses a serious drowning risk as the infant may be submerged in water without warning.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product: Look for an inflatable round ring made of clear and blue plastic with two air chambers, a white buckle, and two handles. Confirm it has the name "Otteroo" printed in large orange letters on the top along with an otter logo.
  2. Check the internal components: The recalled floats feature three colorful balls that move freely inside the clear plastic ring.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled Otteroo Inflatable Baby Float and keep it out of reach of children.
  4. Contact Otteroo to receive a free replacement product. You can reach the firm by calling (415) 236-5388 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or online at www.otteroo.com by clicking on the "Safety" link at the bottom of the page.
