Shocking investigation finds unsafe baby products still being sold online

  • Unsafe baby products were found on several online shopping platforms despite official safety alerts.

Consumer group Which? reportedly said it found dozens of products that experts believe could put babies at risk of suffocation, overheating or choking, prompting renewed calls for tighter regulation of online retailers.

According to a report by BBC, the investigation found bottle-feeding aids, baby sleep pillows and sleeping bags with hoods or without armholes available across multiple platforms, even though some of the products had already been the subject of safety alerts issued by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS). The regulator first warned businesses to remove self-feeding bottle devices in 2022, while a separate alert covering baby sleep pillows followed in December 2025.
