Hazard

The strength of the locking system of the movable side panel is insufficient. In addition, the distance between the footholds and the top of the cot is not sufficient. The child could easily get out of the bed, leading to falls and injuries. The columns on the side of the bed can easily break, resulting in wider gaps where limbs or head of the child can get entrapped, leading to injuries or strangulation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive nor with European standard EN 716-1.
