Big W recalls popular sleeping bags over choking hazard

BIG W is recalling a popular brand of infant sleeping bags because of a potential choking hazard.

It has been reported, press studs on Dymples Infants 00-2 sleeping bags might become loose and detach from the garment, posing a choking hazard for children, the national retailer said in a statement on Tuesday.

Customers should immediately stop using the products, which were sold nationally between January 25 and April 15, and return them to any Big W store for a full refund.

I just found out they started re-calling these in Qld. nearly 2 weeks ago.
Fortunately I didn’t buy this brand at all.

I think it’s just terrible that these unsafe products even make it to our shelves! These are baby products, they should be enthusiastically tested over and over BEFORE they get to the shelves

Surely it would be better if these products were tested properly before being put on the market.

Lets hoper this problem is fixed into the future. So scary for mums as when items are purchased they ought be safe. Good reminder to make our own checks on the items we buy and use.

You’d think they’d test this sort of thing rigorously.
