Hazard

The products present a risk of drowning because the canopies and overhead structures may increase wind resistance and affect the stability of the float. In windy conditions, the float may be lifted, tipped over, pushed away, or destabilised, creating risks of falls, capsizing, separation from the caregiver, entrapment, or drowning. The products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy

The products have been recalled from end users by TikTok and the listings have been removed. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled items and contact their place of purchase for redress.

Product recall

Measures taken

  • Recall of product from end users
