(WBAL-TV) - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Dream On Me Inc., on Friday announced a voluntary recall of Dream On Me Bath Seats.

Officials said the bath seats fail to meet federal safety standards, including the requirements for stability. Specifically, the bath seats can tip over, posing a risk of drowning to babies.

The CPSC and Dream On Me said they have received five reports involving the bath seats, including a report of a near drowning involving a 12-month-old baby girl. The baby did not require medical treatment.

The recall includes all Dream On Me bath seats. Some of the seats have a Dream On Me label under or on the rear of the bath seats. Model numbers are also printed underneath the bath seats and on the product packaging and include the following product models and colors:

Model Name Model Number Color Baby Bath Seat 251B, 251O, 251P, 251Y Green with orange tray,
