Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of suffocation as the product has a hood which is not permitted in the relevant standard, BS EN 16781:2018. If a baby is placed inside a hooded sleeping bag and left unattended, the baby’s natural movement may cause the hood to cover the head/face, presenting a suffocation hazard. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
