Which? reports that many baby swim floats sold online may pose drowning risks. An investigation says the products can fail to keep infants safe in the water, and that a large number of listings are potentially lethal.
The Mirror and Metro cite findings from Which?, which reviewed products available across multiple platforms. The review is said to have identified 171 items it described as dangerous, with Metro noting “more than 100 floats could be deadly.” The outlets also point to sales through marketplaces including Amazon and others.
Daily Mail and Home/Mail Online echo the warning to parents, stressing that hundreds of such floats are being offered by major online retailers. Across the coverage, the common focus is consumer safety: researchers urge careful scrutiny of baby flotation products and caution against assuming all commercially sold floats are suitable or safe for infants.
