A popular fold-out travel crib has been recalled in the UK due to serious safety concerns, including risks of suffocation and injury. The product, known as the New Mummy Crib Backpack, was sold through online retailers such as Amazon, eBay, Fruugo, Joom, and DH Gate.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) issued a warning after the crib was rejected at the UK border. According to the OPSS, the crib is not structurally stable and lacks warnings that it is unsuitable for overnight use. The agency noted that a baby's natural movements could cause the crib to collapse or tilt sideways, leading to serious injuries.
Additionally, the crib comes with a cover that could fully enclose a baby, posing a suffocation hazard. The product fails to meet the requirements of the 2005 General Product Safety Regulations. Parents who have purchased the item are advised to stop using it immediately and contact the seller for a refund.
