YCXXKJ baby bath seats recalled after failing infant bath seat safety standard
If you’ve ever bought a bath seat because it seemed like it would make bath time easier (or safer), you’re not alone. But the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall that’s a good reminder of one key truth: no bath seat replaces hands-on supervision, even for a moment.
What parents need to know right now
The CPSC is recalling about 8,960 YCXXKJ baby bath seats because the seats are unstable and can tip over while in use, violating the mandatory standard for infant bath seats and posing a drowning hazard.
No incidents or injuries have been reported, but families who have this product should treat the recall as an immediate stop-use situation.

How to identify the recalled YCXXKJ bath seat
This recall involves YCXXKJ-branded baby bath seats sold in blue, gray, pink, and yellow. The recalled seats have:
- two detachable arms that serve as a restraint
- four suction cups on the bottom
- three toys: a duck, turtle, and whale
- a tracking label on the back that reads: “Model: YD-1958”
If your bath seat looks like this, flip it over and check the label on the back.

Where it was sold (and when)
According to the CPSC, the bath seats were sold on Amazon.com from May 2024 through October 2025, for about $34 to $40.
What to do next: stop use + request a refund
The CPSC says consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bath seats and contact BenTalk to request a full refund.

A quick bath safety reminder (because this comes up every year)
Bath seats and rings can create a false sense of security, especially during the very normal chaos of parenting, someone’s crying, the doorbell rings, you realize you forgot a towel.
But the AAP’s safety guidance is clear: never leave a child alone in the bathtub, even with a supportive tub or bath seat. If you need to step away, bring your baby with you.
How to report a problem
If you experienced a tip-over, defect, or near-miss with this (or any) bath seat, consider reporting it to the CPSC. Reports help identify patterns and can speed up safety actions.
FAQ
- How do I know if mine is part of the recall?
Check the back label for “Model: YD-1958” and match the features (detachable arms, suction cups, three toys).
- Should I donate or give it away?
No—recalled baby gear should not be passed along. The recall instructions direct families to stop using it and follow the refund steps.
- What should I use instead?
Many families use an infant tub and focus on setup (towel within arm’s reach, soap ready, phone put away) so there’s no need to step away. Most importantly: close, continuous supervision is the safety feature that matters most.
