Mother’s Touch Baby Bather and Deluxe Baby Bather- August 29, 2012 – Fall Risk

• 08054

For safety sake, even though I know you have more common sense than to transport your little one around the house in a bath seat, you can contact Summer Infant for a repair kit.  You can visit their website here for more information:  Summer Infant Recall Information
