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 has a hood which is not permitted in the relevant standard, BS EN 16781:2018. If a baby is placed inside a hooded sleeping bag and left unattended, the baby's natural movement may cause the hood to cover the head / face, presenting a suffocation hazard.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Fruugo).
