The hazard
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.
From the official product safety notice on GOV.UK, published by the Office for Product Safety and Standards.
Why it matters for your bed or cot
Sold for up to a year, this bag would be in use from the newborn weeks onwards. A hood is a fault at any of those ages, and a baby left asleep in it can move enough to pull it across their face.
