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 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 footmuff goes on a pushchair; a sleep sack goes in a cot. This listing claimed both. OPSS assessed it as a sleeping bag and found no arm openings, so a baby left in it could slip down until the fabric covered their face.
