Hazard
The product has been identified as presenting a risk of suffocation when used in a sleep space for babies. Pillows and soft toys are advised not to be placed in the sleep space for babies under the age of one year as their presence increases the risk of overheating and airway obstruction, which have been associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
OPSS has recently published a Product Safety Alert for Baby Sleep Pillows, which highlights the risk they may pose to babies: Product Safety Alert (PA8).
