On or about May 18 2014 we purchased two (2) Sevylor River Racer inflatable tubes. Model #2000014090. We used these tubes once, on Memorial Day, May 26 2014. We used them on an average length river float, under normal conditions. The weather was warm but not extreme. Both my husband and myself experienced a very bad skin reaction in the areas which contacted the tubes. I missed a day of work due to being very uncomfortable. The areas affected took several weeks to heal, and appeared to be almost chemically burned.

Caller stated that the inflated water tube malfunctioned while using it. He stated this incident caused a 17 year old girl to get entrapped which could have caused drowning. Her right foot was wedged in the between the tubes (canvas cover and inner tube) she was then capsized in the water face down, he had to deflate the tube to release her. This was the first time using it. No injuries were sustained from this incident. (8/17) The manufacturer was contacted and he was informed that the incident would be reported to upper management and that someone might call him back. Caller feels that the product is a safety hazard and should be reported.

I used the Sevylor River Racer inflatable rubber inner tube to float around in a lake for approximately 1 hour. I began to have a burning sensation on my back and the area that had made contact with the tube began to turn bright red. I washed the affected area with soap and water several times. The redness has decreased but I still have some redness and still feel the burning sensation 24 hours later. I am also feeling light headed and nauseous. I did not know the tube had been recalled at the time of use. Due to the burning, I searched the internet for potential causes of the burning after using the inner tube and found it had been recalled. I then deflated the inner tube so no one else would use it.

(07/02/2014) The consumer stated that the inner tub was inflated to be used as a floating device. The tube was placed in the water. The consumer was floating down the river on the tube. After about 15 minutes, all of her skin that was in contact with the inner tube started burning. It was a burning sensation. The burning sensation continued as long as she was floating down the river . After about an hour, the daughter tried the same inner tube and got the same burning sensation. After forty minutes, the consumer got back on the inner tube. She is still getting the burning sensation. The consumer did not require medical attention at the time, but did use ice and a cream to alleviate the pain. (7/07/2014) The consumer went to Trios Health Urgent Care in Kennewick, WA. It was determined that she got a chemical burn from the inner tube. The daughter did not have the same pain and discomfort and did not require medical attention.

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to read this. I bought a black rubber inner tube made for recreational use from Orschelns in Marysville, KS. That same day, I used the tube on a float trip and shortly into the float the backs of my legs started to burn. By the end of the day the backs of my legs, arms and back, anywhere that the tube had touched were bright red and felt like a really bad sunburn. I'm not allergic to rubber, it wasn't from the rubber getting hot, wasn't chafing, it was definitely some kind of reaction or chemical burn from something on or in the rubber. The sack the tube came sealed in has an obnoxious smelling florecent yellow powder on the inside of it. I have contacted the place I purchased the tube, as well as the distributer. Neither has had anyone else make this complaint. I'm waiting to hear back from the distributer who is going to contact the manufacturer in China and share the pictures with them that I sent. I just don't want this to happen to anyone else.

We were towing three people on a gladiator brawler 4 person tube (http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Gladiator-Great-Big-Brawler-4-Person-Towable-Tube&i=16844) behind a sport boat. We had a mother and her two year old on the tube. At low speeds (no wake ~2 MPH) the front of the tube got sucked under water. The mother and child slid forward as it got sucked under water and got stuck under the tube for about 30 seconds as we tried to stop and the tube then slowly slid over them. Both were fine, but inhaled some water. Had they gotten wrapped around the tow line it could have been much worse. I've never seen a tube behave this way before, but have since tested it at low speeds with no one on it and found it to be very repeatable.
