John Lewis has recalled a number of baby sleeping bags over fears they could pose a choking risk.
The retailer has issued a safety warning over a series of Winnie the Pooh sleeping bags as the poppers on the items could become unsecure and detach. This in turn can become a choking hazard.
Anyone who has the products is asked to stop using them immediately and return it to a John Lewis store. A full exchange or refund will be provided.
