Overview

  • The consumer group identified 35 baby sleeping-bag listings with suffocation risks across sites including Amazon, eBay and Etsy.
  • Many products feature hoods or lack arm holes, designs that can cover a baby’s face or allow them to slip inside the bag, which contravenes British Standards guidance.
  • Which? says several listings appear identical or very similar to items previously recalled by the Office for Product Safety and Standards.
  • Amazon and eBay said they require compliance and remove violating listings, and some flagged items were taken down after Which? raised concerns.
  • Which? urges parents to avoid bags with hoods or excess material and to choose models with arm holes, cautioning against multipurpose items marketed as sleeping bags.
