The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for 2,140 ONTHEWEI baby bath seats sold on Amazon. These seats pose a significant safety risk because they fail to meet mandatory federal requirements for stability.
Why it matters
The recalled seats are unstable and can tip over during use, posing a drowning risk to infants. This recall was issued to prevent potential accidents, as the product does not comply with established safety standards.
The recall involves 2,140 units of model MY002 manufactured on January 10, 2026. Data confirming the product failure is based on federal inspection against mandatory safety standards.
The players
Consumer Product Safety Commission

Hubei Youhong Trading Co.
The manufacturer of the recalled ONTHEWEI baby bath seats.
The details
The ONTHEWEI bath seats utilize detachable restraint arms and underside suction cups, which are designed to secure the infant during bathing. However, these components fail to keep the seat stable during regular use. The design defect allows the seat to tip over unexpectedly, contradicting the necessary stability requirements for infant bath products.
Timeline

Health Landscape
This recall reflects the ongoing oversight maintained by the Consumer Product Safety Commission regarding compliance with mandatory safety standards for infant bath seats. It serves as an enforcement action to ensure that all products in the category meet baseline stability requirements.
Check any bath seats purchased in April 2026 to see if they are model MY002. If you possess this model, stop using it immediately and contact the manufacturer to coordinate a refund.

Product recalls are essential tools for identifying hazards before injuries occur. If you have an affected seat, keep it away from children and contact the manufacturer to process your refund request.
