The 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
Plus velvet, thickened, winter envelope: the listing was all about warmth. OPSS’s concern was the shape. With no arm openings, a newborn can slip down until the fabric covers their face.
