Millions of very cute baby floats, including one I own, are being recalled because the leg straps can tear, dumping the child into the water.

Aqua-Leisure Industries is recalling four million inflatable baby floats.  The company says it’s received 31 reports of the floats’ seats tearing.  No one was injured, according to the company.

A lot of stores carried these floats, including Target, Toys “R” Us, Wal-Mart, Dollar General, Kmart, Walgreens, Ace Hardware and Bed, Bath & Beyond.  They were sold between December 2002 and last month and cost between $8 and $15. 

Anyone with one of the recalled floats can call Aqua-Leisure Industries, Inc. at (866) 807-3998 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the company’s Web site at www.aqualeisure.com for a full refund.
