This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the safety risks associated with key nursery products used in infant sleep environments, including sleep bags, cot duvets, and cot bumpers. Drawing on injury data and recent regulatory developments, the session will address hazards such as entrapment, suffocation, strangulation, overheating, fire, and chemical exposure in both the UK and EU.
