Danger:
Drowning
The product poses a risk of drowning because children may capsize in the seat and their head may go under water. Since their legs may get stuck in the openings, it is not possible for children to right themselves on their own. The product also does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 13138 according to which swim seats must not give the impression that they are toys, and must not have a colourful and decorative appearance.
