Baby Bath Seat Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

Four brands of baby bath seats sold on Amazon are under a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall: YCXXKJ, NFSVLB, CheerKid, and Trankerloop, recalled between December 2025 and February 2026 in four separate refund actions for the same safety problem.

Each of the four seats can become unstable and flip while a baby sits inside, breaking CPSC’s mandatory rule for infant bath seats and creating a drowning danger, and NFSVLB’s model can also catch a child in its leg openings.

Anyone who owns one of these bath seats should stop using it immediately and contact the specific seller for a refund. All four recalls remain open, with no closures announced as of September 2026.

Latest Baby Bath Seats Recall Updates

February 26, 2026: Trankerloop Bath Seats Recalled

CPSC recalled about 2,380 Trankerloop baby bath seats on February 26, 2026 [1]. The seats were sold only on Amazon.com from August through October 2025 for about $36 each.

The bath seats can become unstable and tip over mid-use, breaking CPSC’s mandatory federal rule written specifically for infant bath seats. No injury has been reported so far. Contact Trankerloop directly for a refund.

February 12, 2026: CheerKid Bath Seats Recalled

CPSC announced a recall covering about 590 CheerKid baby bath seats on February 12, 2026 [2]. Babibaby sold the seats on Amazon.com in September 2025 for about $35 each.

Like the other three, these seats can tip over because they don’t meet CPSC’s mandatory stability rule for infant bath seats. CPSC has not received an injury report tied to this recall. Babibaby is handling refunds for the CheerKid seats.

January 8, 2026: NFSVLB Bath Seats Recalled

CPSC recalled roughly 1,430 NFSVLB baby bath seats on January 8, 2026 [3]. The seats were sold on Amazon.com from May through October 2025 for between $25 and $40.

These seats share the tip-over problem found in the other three recalls, and their leg openings add a second hazard: a child can slip down and become trapped. NFSVLB will issue a refund once it gets your photo.

December 11, 2025: YCXXKJ Bath Seats Recalled

CPSC’s recall of about 8,960 YCXXKJ baby bath seats took effect on December 11, 2025 [4]. BenTalk sold the seats on Amazon.com from May 2024 through October 2025 for between $34 and $40.

As with the other three, these seats don’t meet the mandatory federal stability standard for infant bath seats, so they can tip over and create a drowning risk. Contact BenTalk to arrange your refund.

Which Baby Bath Seats Are Affected?

The recalled seats include four brands, each identified by the model number printed on a label on the back or side of the seat:

• Trankerloop Baby Bath Seats – model YD-1958 (“PLASTIC STOOL” label), sold in blue, gray, pink and yellow, with two detachable arm restraints and four suction cups.
• CheerKid Baby Bath Seats – model BH-222, sold in gray, pink and light blue, with five suction cups and a rolling abacus toy at the front.
• NFSVLB Baby Bath Seats – Model No. ZY2025, printed on a label on the seat’s side, blue and white, with detachable arm restraints and four suction cups.
• YCXXKJ Baby Bath Seats – model YD-1958 tracking label, sold in blue, gray, pink and yellow, with two detachable arms, four suction cups and three toys.

Why Were the Baby Bath Seats Recalled?

The baby bath seats were recalled because CPSC found they could tip over with a baby inside, failing the mandatory federal safety standard written for infant bath seats and putting the child at risk of drowning.

CPSC found the same design flaw in all four brands – Trankerloop, CheerKid, NFSVLB and YCXXKJ – even though different Amazon sellers sold them in different colors and configurations.

The NFSVLB seats have an added problem: their leg openings are wide enough for a child to slip down through them and become trapped at the torso, adding entrapment to the shared tip-over hazard.

CPSC treats the instability itself, not only an injury it caused, as the basis for the standard violation, since the mandatory rule addresses tip-over risk before it leads to harm.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

None of the four CPSC recall notices lists a reported incident, injury or death. Each notice – Trankerloop, CheerKid, NFSVLB and YCXXKJ – states no incidents had been reported as of its announcement date.

CPSC can act on a safety-standard violation like the seats’ instability alone, even without an injury report, because the same standard requires infant bath seats to stay stable during a bath.

Consumers who spot a problem can report it directly to CPSC through SaferProducts.gov or to the specific seller, and CPSC would update a notice’s status if new reports came in.

The four notices also do not break the totals out by state, region, or any country beyond the United States, based on the versions of each notice now published.

What Should Consumers Do?

Parents and caregivers who currently have one of these four recalled baby bath seats at home should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the recalled bath seat immediately and keep it out of the bathtub, even if it has not shown a problem yet.
2. Write “Recalled” on the front of the seat in permanent marker and disassemble it – removing the back rest and arm restraints and cutting the suction cups – following the instructions your seller provided with the recall.
3. Photograph the disassembled, marked seat – two photos for a YCXXKJ seat, one for the others – and email it to your seller: Trankerloop at hkkll147@outlook.com, Babibaby (CheerKid) at CheerKid-Recall@outlook.com, NFSVLB at amzmaihuayd@163.com, or BenTalk (YCXXKJ) at bentalkhere@outlook.com.
4. Call Trankerloop at 405-204-8540 (9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday) or BenTalk at 213-579-2588 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday) with questions about a refund.
5. Report the recalled bath seat to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, or by calling the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270), if you have not already done so.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada‘s bath-safety guidance names infant bath seats as a drowning-hazard product category in Canada, apart from these four U.S. recalls [5].

The agency says a bath seat should never be relied on to keep a baby safe in the bathtub at any time.

Drowning has occurred in Canada when a caregiver looked away for seconds, a child climbed out, or the suction cups let go and the seat tipped over.

Legal Options

CPSC’s finding that all four bath seats violate the mandatory federal safety standard can support product-liability theories, including defective design or a failure to warn of the tip-over risk.

A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation, and no multidistrict litigation over baby bath seats currently exists: the JPML‘s pending-MDL list carries no matching matter [6].

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for pursuing a legal claim over a recalled product are set by state law, not by CPSC. Where you live and when the injury happened both affect which deadline applies to your situation.

Missing the applicable deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong, so reviewing it with a lawyer promptly, before deciding whether to pursue anything, is the only way to confirm it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Baby Bath Seats Safe to Use?

No safety device makes a baby bath seat fully safe. Safety regulators warn that bathtub drowning can happen within seconds, without a sound, in as little as about an inch of water, so a baby should stay within an adult’s reach and sight throughout the bath.

How Many Baby Bath Seats Have Been Recalled?

In total, CPSC has recalled about 13,360 baby bath seats across four separate 2025-2026 actions: about 8,960 YCXXKJ seats, 2,380 Trankerloop seats, 1,430 NFSVLB seats, and 590 CheerKid seats, and no closure has removed any of them from CPSC’s recall list.

Who Makes the Recalled Trankerloop Baby Bath Seat?

Trankerloop made and sold the recalled Trankerloop baby bath seat on Amazon.com. CPSC’s February 26, 2026 recall notice names the company as Shenzhen Shi Ronmang Trading Co., Ltd., doing business as Trankerloop.

Were the Recalled Baby Bath Seats Sold Anywhere Besides Amazon?

The recalled baby bath seats were not sold anywhere besides Amazon. Every notice for these seats – Trankerloop, CheerKid, NFSVLB, and YCXXKJ – names Amazon.com as the only place they were sold, and none lists a physical store or another online marketplace.

Can I Call to Ask About My CheerKid or NFSVLB Refund?

You cannot call to ask about a CheerKid or NFSVLB refund by phone – no phone number is listed for either seller in the CPSC notices. Each takes refund questions by email only, unlike Trankerloop and BenTalk, which also list a phone line.

What Should I Do with the Refund Photos Each Seller Requires?

Each seller requires its own refund photo, not CPSC, to verify the seat was disassembled and marked “Recalled” before issuing a refund: Trankerloop and BenTalk take it by email, and so do CheerKid’s and NFSVLB’s sellers, each at its own address.
