A baby pillow that was sold via online marketplace Amazon has been removed over serious safety risks.
The MiniDream Tummy Time Pillow, which originates from China, is described as a pillow for babies 0+ with ribbon loops, teether, and detachable toys.
The product presents a serious risk of entrapment as it includes fabric loops which may entrap a child’s finger.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards stated: “The product presents a risk of entrapment, as the pillow, pillowcase and detachable moon toy include fabric loops sewn into the side of one of the seams.
“The loops are large enough that a young child could easily insert their finger into them and twist, causing injuries. Additionally, the plastic packaging bag has a thickness lower than the minimum permissible, presenting an asphyxiation hazard.
“The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011. Owners should stop using the products immediately. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.”
