AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT RECALL

Bubpods Sleep Sack

Published 9 January 2023

Product

Grey baby sleep sack with a small, weighted, cloud-shaped patch on the front. The product comes in multiple sizes to suit different ages. BP-SLEEPSACK-S BP-SLEEPSACK-M BP-SLEEPSACK-L

Why it was recalled

The sleep sack contains a weighted patch that poses compression or suffocation risk. Safe infant sleeping guidance discourages use of weighted swaddles and sleepwear. 

Hazard

Weighted sleepwear can restrict an infant’s chest and abdominal movement which increases the risk of suffocation. Weighted products can also limit an infant’s movements. For example, if an infant rolled onto its stomach it may not be able to roll back over.
