Self-feeding baby pillows have been banned in Ireland following choking concerns.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has banned the use of the self-feeding pillows in Ireland as the product has been identified as a choking hazard, risking serious injury amongst young infants. The pillow design helps prop up a bottle of milk, allowing it to rest in a baby’s mouth without parental assistance.
The pillow itself is placed around the child’s neck while elastic holds the bottle in place. However, the CCPC says that the baby’s inability to stop the flow of milk into their mouth could easily lead to choking and has subsequently banned their sale in Ireland.
