Dangerous Baby Self-Feeding Pillows Pulled from UK Shops
Businesses selling baby self-feeding pillows must yank them off shelves immediately. These products fail to meet safety rules under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, posing serious risks to infants.
What Are Baby Self-Feeding Pillows?
These pillows attach to a bottle, allowing babies to lie on their backs and feed without a caregiver holding the bottle. Sounds handy, but it clashes with NHS safety advice on proper bottle feeding.
Serious Choking Hazard Warned
Even with adult supervision, these pillows can cause choking or aspiration pneumonia. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) says the design itself makes them inherently dangerous — there’s no way to make them safe.
Immediate Action Urged for Consumers and Businesses
- Consumers must stop using these products right away and dispose of them safely.
- Local authorities and businesses are instructed to remove these items from sale without delay.
Don’t risk your baby’s health – if you’ve got one of these self-feeding pillows, bin it now.
