Before you head to the pool with your little ones, we've got an important
safety warning.
The government has issued a voluntary recall of about four million inflatable
baby floats due to a drowning hazard.
The 14 float models are made by Aqua-Leisure Industries.
The U-S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the leg straps in the seat of
the floats can tear --
causing children to unexpectedly fall into the water.
The commission says there have been 31 reports of such incidents, but no
reports of injuries.
The products were sold at retailers nationwide, including Toys "R" Us, Wal-Mart, Dollar General, Kmart, Walgreens, Ace Hardware, and Bed, Bath & Beyond from December 2002 through June 2009 for between $8 and $15.
If you have one of these floats... you can contact aqua-leisure for a refund.
The exact model information on the floats can be found at CPSC.gov.
