Parents who purchased the Napei Collapsible Infant Bath Tub on Amazon between July and September 2025 should check their model right away. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled about 7,800 tubs because the built-in thermometer contains button cell batteries that can be accessed easily by children. If swallowed, these batteries can cause internal chemical burns and may be life threatening.

How to identify the recalled tub

The recalled product is a plastic collapsible infant bath tub with two detachable legs. It comes in a white and gray color combination and includes a removable star-print cushion insert, a built-in thermometer, and a blue rubber star-shaped drain plug.

Parents can verify whether they have the affected model by checking the bottom of the tub for a label marked “Model No: Baby Bathtub – 0823.” These tubs were sold exclusively on Amazon for about $35 and were imported by the Sefon Store of China. The country of manufacture is also listed as China.

What parents should do now

If you own this product, stop using it immediately and keep it out of children’s reach until it has been repaired. The seller is offering a free replacement battery compartment that meets federal safety standards.

To request the repair:

  1. Email Napeiservice00@outlook.com.
  2. Include your Amazon order number or a photo of the tracking label located on the bottom of the tub.
  3. Once your purchase is confirmed, the seller will ship the new battery compartment to your address.

The CPSC has reported no injuries connected to this recall, but the potential hazard is serious enough that families should act quickly.

Why this recall matters

This recall falls under the protections established by Reese’s Law, passed in 2022 after the death of 18-month-old Reese Hamsmith. The law requires products containing button or coin batteries to have child-resistant battery compartments and clear warning labels. The CPSC adopted ANSI/UL 4200A-2023 as the governing safety standard, and the thermometer in this tub does not comply with that requirement.

A safety reminder for all families

Button batteries are found in many everyday products, including thermometers, light-up toys, key fobs, and musical greeting cards. If a child may have swallowed a battery, seek emergency medical care right away and contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 or visit Poison.org for guidance. Experts warn that tissue damage can begin within hours of ingestion.

Parents can take extra precautions by regularly checking that any battery compartments in household items are securely closed and taped if loose.
