What Is It?
It's an inflatable device designed to support and entertain your Baby in the pool while you relax and enjoy.
What Happened?
The leg strap area had the tendency to break away causing Babies to fall right through into the water and potentially drown. Apparently there were 31 reports of this happening, however fortunately there were no serious injuries from this design flaw.
Aftermath?
Their Baby Floats that had "tear potential" were recalled, they continued making the product however the new models without defect have been marked "NP" on the valve.
