A popular portable cot has been urgently recalled with warnings for parents that there is a ‘risk of serious injury or death’
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission [ACCC] recalled the 5-in-1 nursery center portable cot, which serves as a bassinet, bed, sleeper, baby crib, activity centre and changing table. The cot, which is being sold on Amazon and Costway Wholesale, poses an entrapment and suffocation hazard, creating a risk of serious injury or death if an infant is placed in the product.
The ACCC said in a statement: “This product doesn’t comply with the mandatory standard for infant sleep products.
“Risk of serious injury or death from entrapment or suffocation. An incident has occurred.”
Consumers are urged to check the model number or SKU on their products to see if it matches SKU: BB0505. If you purchased a portacot with the recalled SKU number, the guidance is that you should stop using the product immediately.
You can then return it to the place of purchase to arrange replacement free of charge.
