Concerns have been raised about certain flotation devices for children, which may pose a drowning risk. A decade ago, a 3-year-old boy named Judah drowned in an apartment pool after his mother removed his wearable arm/chest floatie. Although Judah was not wearing the device when he drowned, his mother has been warning about the potential dangers of such devices.

Critics argue that these devices can give young children a false sense of security, making them think they can float or swim without protection. Further details about the concerns surrounding these flotation devices are available from InvestigateTV, which has been looking into the issue.
