No one hurt Made Jul 2, 2013, sent to the company Jul 11, 2013, published by CPSC Jul 25, 2013
The product, in the report: “Water wings”, available in pink and blue. Pink with butterflies but it was also available with other designs. Blue has spiderman but was available with other characters. Purchased at Weis grocery store in Gap, PA, around June 2013. Each side has its own nozzle for inflation.
Purchased two sets of kids “water wings” at Gap, PA, Weis grocery store. They had boys’ and girls’ versions - blue with superheroes and pink with princesses or other characters.
My son was wearing a pair while swimming and the seal holding the two sides together came apart on one of them. I assumed it was because he was jumping in the pool and was rough with it.
My daughter was swimming a few days later wearing them and just floating in the water when one of the ones she was wearing separated in exactly the same way. I was on the opposite side of the pool and by the time I ran around to her side and grabbed her hand her face had gone under several times and she was terrified. She was ok but if this happens to someone else and they’re not right there it could be dangerous.
I called the store on 7/2/13 at around 8 pm (right after the second incident) and asked them to remove the items from the shelf. Reporting it here as well because I am sure lots of Weis’s have these and probably other stores also.

My five year old daughter was using inflatable arm bands made by Polygroup in a swimming pool. The product number printed on the arm band is WMP240174-0112. The arm band came apart at the seam and fell off while she was using it. This was only the third time she had used these arm bands.
