Serious Drowning Hazard
Parents assume that products made specifically for babies have already met the most basic safety standards.
Unfortunately, that’s not always true.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled approximately 2,380 Trankerloop Baby Bath Seats because they violate the federal safety standard for infant bath seats. According to the CPSC, the seats can tip over while in use, creating a serious risk of injury or death from drowning.
The recalled bath seats were sold exclusively on Amazon between August and October 2025 for about $36. They were available in blue, gray, pink, and yellow and include four suction cups, two detachable restraint arms, a cup, and a sponge. The label on the back reads “PLASTIC STOOL” and Model YD-1958.
Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.
But Scarlett has a simple question:
Why are baby products that don’t meet mandatory federal safety standards making it into parents’ homes in the first place?
Parents shouldn’t have to become product safety investigators every time they shop online.
If a product is marketed for infants, it should meet federal safety standards before it reaches a family’s doorstep—not after a recall.
If you own one of these bath seats, stop using it immediately. Contact Trankerloop for a full refund and follow the CPSC’s instructions for destroying the product before requesting reimbursement.
When it comes to babies, “we caught it before someone died” shouldn’t be considered success.
Children deserve better.
Parents deserve better.
Scarlett says no.
