: CPSC is warning consumers to immediately stop using Bolloco Infant Bath Seats. The infant bath seats pose a risk of serious injury or death to babies from drowning because they are unstable and can tip over while in use, violating the mandatory standard for infant bath seats.

About 1,930 infant bath seats were sold online on Amazon.com from March 2024 through March 2025 for between $30 and $45. The infant bath seats may have also been sold on other websites and by various third-party sellers. These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the infant bath seats immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous infant bath seats.
