OPSS launches new baby sleeping products resources

New resources launched to raise awareness about unsafe baby sleeping products.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has launched new resources to raise awareness about unsafe baby sleeping products.

To tie in with The Lullaby Trust’s ‘Safer Sleep Week’ in March, OPSS has linked up with the Trust and Netmums to reach those purchasing products for children under 12 months old and professionals who work with families. The resources cover a range of baby sleeping products and warn that products sold online may be unsafe.

OPSS has produced a checklist for parents and carers that includes key messages on shopping for baby sleeping bags, checking the safety labels and considering where best to purchase.
