Recall Database
Drowning Hazards Recalls
This is one of the site's smallest hazard hubs — 17 records, all CPSC — for drowning hazards. These are products tied to a drowning risk: flotation and pool products, infant bath seats, and items whose failure can put a person, usually a child, underwater. Some also carry a fall-and-tip-over tag.
Small as it is, this hub covers a hazard with no margin for error. If you have a recalled flotation device, pool product, infant bath seat, or bath item, check it here before use.
The notices span 2023–2026. Every row links to the CPSC notice with the affected ages and the manufacturer's remedy.
How this hub is built. This page groups the 17 recall records that 411 Press classifies as Drowning Hazards. Each record gets one primary hazard from a fixed, published rule set (taxonomy version 2026-07-28.C2.2 — this stamp marks when the classification rules last changed, not how current the recall data is; data currency is stated below). A record can carry secondary hazard tags but appears on only one hub. Regulators in this hub: CPSC (17). These notices were published 2023–2026. This is not an all-time archive — it is the current dataset, drawn from CPSC, FDA, and NHTSA notices and refreshed as new notices are ingested from the agency feeds, so it grows over time. A note on counting. This hub counts RECORDS, not recall events. The agencies package recalls differently — NHTSA issues one record per safety campaign, the CPSC one per recall, the FDA one per affected product line — so an FDA-heavy hub carries more product-line records per underlying recall than a CPSC or NHTSA one. Records here are grouped by hazard; the brand hubs, which rank companies, count by event instead. Every row links to the original agency notice. The agency's record is the authority; the hazard grouping is ours. For a small number of records the agency feed's own hazard text did not pass our integrity check; those rows read "See the agency notice for the hazard description" and link straight to the source, rather than show a summary we can't stand behind.
