- Hazard
- The product presents a serious risk of asphyxiation when used in a sleep space for babies. Without armholes to retain a child in position, a baby may slip into the sleeping bag and the material may cover a baby’s nose and mouth, which could result in asphyxia leading to serious or even fatal harm. Similarly, due to natural movement of the material, a hood may cover a baby’s nose and mouth, which can lead to suffocation or asphyxiation.
- OPSS has published a Product Safety Alert for Baby Sleeping Bags, which highlights the risk they may pose to babies: Product Safety Alert: Baby Sleeping Bags (PSA9) - GOV.UK
