Before you head to the pool with your kids this weekend, we've got an important safety warning.

The government has issued a voluntary recall of around four million inflatable baby floats due to a drowning hazard. Officials say the leg straps in the seat of the floats can tear, causing children to unexpectedly fall into the water.

The 14 models are made by Aqua-Leisure Industries, and the floats were sold at Target, Toys-R-Us, Walmart, Dollar General, Walgreens, Ace Hardware, and Bed Bath and Beyond between the dates of December 2002 and 2009.
