The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of 66 deaths
associated with baby bath seats or rings since 1983. These bath rings
usually contain three or four legs with suction cups that attach to
the bottom of the tub. However, the suction cups may suddenly release
allowing the bath ring and baby to tip over. A baby may also slip
between the legs of the bath ring and become trapped under it.
Do not rely on these devices to keep baby safe in the bath. Parents
or other attendants must never leave a baby alone in these bath support
rings. Even turning away to answer the doorbell or telephone could
result in injury or drowning of the baby.
