What to do now
Pink Baby Nest 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 Pink Baby Nest presenting a serious risk of suffocation.
The risk
The baby bed has no valid technical documentation and there is a lack of labelling, marking and instructions. In the absence of markings and instructions to support consumers in safe usage, it may be possible for the product to be used in an unsafe manner. For example, if a young child is placed in the product to sleep unsupervised and moves in their sleep, they may become pressed against the sides, restricting their airway and potentially leading to suffocation.
