Understand the issue

The leg holes in the seat of the float can tear, causing children to unexpectedly fall into the water and, possibly, drown.

The recalled floats are packaged as "SunSmart" Baby Adjustable Sunshade Boats. The baby floats are blue and white circular tubes with a seat in the middle, and a detachable protective sunshade. The vinyl floats, intended for ages 6 months to 18 months, have pictures of purple crabs and various colored fish along the top. The word, "SunSmart" is printed across the front of the float. The recalled boats can be identified by the lettering "C/S" molded on the valve. Only floats with the "C/S" lettering are involved in the recall, subsequent floats have been corrected. Baby floats purchased after September 2001 are not involved in this recall. The baby float recall was originally announced on November 28, 2001.
