Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOver twenty-one hundred Onthewei baby bath seats sold on Amazon are being recalled because of a drowning hazard, and parents are told to stop using them and request a full refund.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorShould you be worried? A plastic seat, in a tub, holding a baby. Think about that, Hank, and then think about it again.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI thought about it. It's twenty-one hundred seats, and the fix is a refund.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRefund. Today it's the bath seat, tomorrow it's the rubber duck, and nobody has questioned the duck.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe duck is not on the list.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's what the duck wants you to think.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSame as my Arby's call at lunch, one of the three flavors goes wrong, and here we are.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVerdict: mildly worried, and only if you own one. I'm rating this notice a recall with a full refund on the news.
