(AP) - Summer Infant is issuing a voluntary recall on its Mother’s Touch/Deluxe baby bathers due to the risk of serious head injury to infants.
When the bather is lifted or carried with an infant in it, its folding wire frame can disengage from the side hinge, dropping the baby out and posing a fall hazard and the risk of serious head injury to infants.
Four children between two weeks and two months old sustained skull fractures and another infant required intensive care for bleeding on the brain.
The recall involves Summer Infant baby bathers with a small, nearly square, blue or plastic base measuring 13.5 inches long by 12.5 inches wide.
