Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

SCS Direct is recalling about 7,500 Thermobaby Aquababy Bath Ring seats because they fail to meet federal safety standards for stability. The bath seats can tip over, which creates a risk of a baby drowning. These seats were sold in blue and pink and were designed for children five to ten months old. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using these seats and contact SCS Direct for a full $35 refund.

Risk

The bath seat can tip over during use, potentially submerging an infant underwater where they cannot right themselves, posing a serious risk of drowning.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Thermobaby Aquababy Bath Ring seats.
  2. Check the underside of your bath seat for the engraved text: 'Thermobaby Z.I. De Kerbois,' 'Aquababy,' and 'Ref. 1953 Made in France' to confirm it is part of the recall.
  3. Verify the design: The seat is white plastic with blue, pink, or green trimming, has four suction cups on the bottom, and features three spinning toys on the front rail.
  4. Contact SCS Direct toll-free at (888) 749-1387 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email recall@scsdirectinc.com for instructions on how to return the seat and receive a $35 refund.
