Four infants received a skull fracture and one required emergency intensive care due to bleeding on the brain (fortunatelly for those who believe shaking a baby is the only way that brain bleeds happen in infants, the specific type of bleeding isn't noted). 

2 Million Baby Bathers Recalled Due to Skull Fractures

Additionally, stories have already started coming out to "hide" the injury of bleeding on the brain. See this story about the recall and you'll note no mention of bleeding on the brain.

2 Million Baby Bathers Recalled

And of course, both make sure to mention that it is the users' misuse of the product, not any inherent manufacturer defect that would ever cause these products to malfunction.  Great way to displace the blame.

BABY BATHERS

 

DETAILS: Mother's Touch/Deluxe Baby Bathers manufactured by Summer Infant Inc., of Woonsocket, R.I.; sold at mass merchandise stores nationwide and online from September 2004 through November 2011. The bathers were manufactured in China.

 

WHY: When the bather is lifted and/or carried with an infant in it, its folding wire frame can suddenly disengage from the side hinge, dropping the baby out of the bather.

 

INCIDENTS: The Consumer Product Safety Commission and the company have received seven reports of incidents in the United States, including five reports of infants suffering head injuries from falls from the bathers. Four children between two weeks and two months old received skull fractures, including one that required intensive care for bleeding on the brain. The fifth child received a bump to the head requiring emergency room treatment.

 

HOW MANY: About 2 million in the U.S., and 65,000 in Canada.
