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 mouth and nose.
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
The listing pitched it for a trolley, meaning a pushchair, as well as for sleep. A bag that encloses a baby for a short walk is a different thing from a bag left on overnight in a cot. Here OPSS says a baby could slip down until the knit covered their mouth and nose.
