What to do now

Lehoo Castle Silicone Spinner could block a child’s nose and mouth or restrict breathing.

  1. Stop using it now. For sleep, a baby needs a firm, flat mattress with no pillows, padding or loose items in the cot.
  2. Store it where children cannot reach it.
  3. The marketplace has removed the listing. Contact the seller through your order history to ask for a refund.
  4. If you cannot reach the seller, Trading Standards can be told through Citizens Advice.

Why it matters. Babies cannot move away from something covering their face. Pillows, padded sleeping bags and soft items in the cot are linked to sleep deaths, and that is why many of these products fail UK safety rules.
