The hazard
The product presents a serious risk of suffocation, as it 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 their 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
A pompom tail and a rabbit face sell the look, and the hood came with it. OPSS rates a hooded sleeping bag a serious suffocation risk whatever is stitched on the front.
