The hazard
The product presents a serious risk of suffocation as the product has no arm openings. This could lead to the suffocation of the baby if they slip down into the sleep bag while unattended, and the garment covers their face.
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
“Anti-shock” is the listing’s own word for this wrap. It had a hood and no arm openings, the two faults OPSS lists. Whatever a listing promises, check any wrap for arm holes and no hood before it goes in the cot.
