Recall of ONTHEWEI Baby Bath Seats Over Drowning Hazard
By Drooid · · How we work
Core Event
In early October, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of approximately 2,140 ONTHEWEI-branded baby bath seats. The recalled model is identified as MY002 and was sold on Amazon in April 2026 for roughly $40-$50. No injuries or deaths have been reported to date.
Background & Context
Infant bath seats are subject to a mandatory safety standard that requires stability during use. The CPSC’s notice indicates that the ONTHEWEI seats violate this standard because their design allows tipping, which could submerge a child’s head in water. The recall follows the agency’s routine monitoring of consumer products for compliance with federal safety requirements.
Official Statements & Responses
The CPSC notice instructs consumers to stop using the bath seats immediately and to contact ONTHEWEI for a full refund. ONTHEWEI’s recall instructions require owners to mark the product with “RECALLED,” disassemble it by removing the backrest and restraint arms, cut the three suction cups on the underside, and submit a photo of the destroyed item before disposal. Both ONTHEWEI and Amazon did not respond to requests for comment at the time of reporting.
