EnglishShark Tail baby sleeping bag sold on Wish poses serious suffocation risk
OPSS says the hooded bag has no armholes to hold a baby in position. Wish has removed the listing, and owners are told to stop using the product immediately.
A shark-themed baby sleeping bag sold through Wish presents a serious risk of suffocation, the Office for Product Safety and Standards has warned. Owners are advised to stop using the affected product immediately and keep it out of children’s reach.
The UK regulator’s report, published on 22 October 2026, identifies a white and light blue hooded Shark Tail Baby Sleeping Bag. The Wish product ID is 68b25bffc580b9a37e67ff69, and the OPSS notification number is 2610-0064.
Why the design is hazardous
OPSS says the bag has no armholes to retain a child in position. A baby could slip down inside it, allowing the material to cover their nose and mouth. The hood can also move over a baby’s face. Either mechanism could lead to asphyxiation, with potentially serious or fatal consequences.
The report rates the risk as serious when the product is used in a baby’s sleep space. It says the product does not meet the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. This is a warning about the hazard identified in this product; the report does not describe a specific injury incident.

The country of origin is listed as unknown. The warning identifies this product and listing; it does not establish that every shark-themed item or every sleeping bag sold on Wish has the same defect.
Stop use and contact the distributor
Wish has removed the listing, according to OPSS. Buyers who already have the bag should follow the stop-use advice rather than treating the disappearance of the sales page as the end of the issue.
The regulator tells owners to contact the distributor they bought the product from to request a refund or replacement. The report does not set out a refund deadline or guarantee the outcome of an individual request.
The OPSS notice also links to its wider baby sleeping bag safety alert and NHS safe-sleep guidance. Buyers can use those official links from the notice alongside the product photograph in the report when checking what they own.
