Hazard
If used as directed on the Amazon website, the sleep bag presents a serious risk of suffocation, overheating and death. In some of the images, the child’s head is covered by the product, and in others there are loose flaps which could cover the head. The design of the product allows the baby to slip below the covers causing overheating and potentially airway obstruction, both of which have been associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
