Three products — two formal CPSC recalls and one safety warning — are worth checking in your home this weekend. All three involve products commonly sold on Amazon, and all three carry serious hazards: suffocation, drowning, and intestinal perforation. If any of these products are in your home, the guidance from the Consumer Product Safety Commission is to stop use immediately.

NFSVLB Baby Bath Seats — Drowning and Entrapment Hazard

NFSVLB baby bath seats sold on Amazon have been recalled for a risk of drowning and entrapment. The product violates the mandatory federal standard for infant bath seats.

Bath seats are designed to hold an infant in a seated position in the bathtub, but they are not safety devices — they are convenience items, and no bath seat is a substitute for constant adult supervision. When a bath seat fails to meet the mandatory standard, the risk of entrapment increases, and entrapment in a bathtub is a drowning risk.

If you have NFSVLB bath seats at home, stop using them and check CPSC.gov/Recalls for the remedy. When in doubt about whether a bath seat in your home is affected, contact the manufacturer or check the CPSC database by brand name.

Ocensmice Magnetic Building Sets — Intestinal Perforation Warning

Ocensmice magnetic building stick and ball sets sold on Amazon are the subject of a CPSC safety warning. The magnets in these sets exceed federal strength limits established under the mandatory standard for magnets — a standard that was updated in 2022 specifically because of the injuries associated with high-powered magnetic toys.

The hazard here is one that is easy to underestimate. If a child swallows a single high-powered magnet, the body may be able to pass it. But if a child swallows two or more magnets separately — which happens when small pieces of a building set are not secured — those magnets can attract to each other through the walls of the intestines. The pressure from that attraction can cause perforation, obstruction, or internal bleeding. These injuries require emergency surgery, and outcomes can be life-threatening.

If you have Ocensmice magnetic sets or any magnetic building toy at home, keep them out of reach of young children and check CPSC.gov to verify whether your specific product is covered under a recall or warning. Signs of magnet ingestion include sudden abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting — treat these as a medical emergency.

What's Next

For all three products, the steps are the same: stop use, check CPSC.gov/Recalls for the specific recall or warning entry, and follow the remedy instructions. If you purchased any of these items as gifts, it is worth contacting the recipient to share this information.

The CPSC maintains a full, searchable database of active recalls at CPSC.gov/Recalls. Families can also sign up for email alerts by product category at the same address. Previous recalls covered by COS Parenting in recent weeks include Babypark infant carriers, TOMY Boon PIVOT step stools, Target Gigglescape popping toys, and Peony Design bibs and stroller bags — check the full CPSC database if you have any of those products as well.
