Why it's dangerous
Suffocation
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). The product may lead to suffocation when used in a sleep space for babies.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive.
