Hazard

The gaps between the bars of the playpen are too large: A crawling child could try to pass his legs or torso between the bars, leaving the head blocked, which could lead to respiratory difficulties or strangulation. Moreover, the snag points in the corners of the cot could pose a risk of strangulation if the child's clothing gets caught. The bars may detach and the child could fall out of the playpen or leave it without supervision. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 12227.
