A range of baby sleepbags sold at Best&Less has been recalled due to serious risks, with parents warned to stop using the products immediately.

Product Safety Australia issued the recall for the Best&Less printed velour sleeveless sleepbag range, after it was revealed that the shoulder snap could come off during use and become detached.

This poses a serious hazard, Product Safety Australia warned, as there could be a risk of serious injury of death from choking if a child swallows the small shoulder snap part.
