What to do now
MorisMos Teddy Bear sold on Amazon poses a suffocation risk.
- Stop using it now. For sleep, a baby needs a firm, flat mattress with no pillows, padding or loose items in the cot.
- Store it where children cannot reach it.
- Because the product was found unsafe on an online marketplace, use the platform’s order page to contact the seller.
- 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.

Summary
Product Safety Report for MorisMos Teddy Bear presenting a serious risk asphyxiation risk as testing found that one side of the neck bow unravelled and measured at 450mm, which exceeds the maximum 300mm specified for a child under 18 months.
The risk
The product presents a serious asphyxiation risk as testing found that one side of the neck bow unravelled and measured at 450mm, which exceeds the maximum 300mm specified for a child under 18 months, and could therefore pose a potential strangulation hazard to young infants. The flexible plastic bag used for packaging has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the bag thickness measured as 0.010 ± 0.002mm is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified, which further presents an asphyxiation hazard. The toy also fails to comply with 5.2(c) of EN 71-1 in that, the zip at the back of the bear can be undone, allowing access to the internal fibrous filling material which presents a choking hazard.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Action taken

Advice to consumers
