Product: Wooden playpen

Type/number of model: Wooden playpen Baby Maxi model no. 447;
Barcode: 0000004470007

construction poses a risk of entrapment between the elements of the
playpen.

chassis is marked “Focus”; the pram body and seat has a “Nowalex
Baby Carriage” label.
Country of origin: Poland

|
Injuries,
Choking and Suffocation
The product poses a risk of injuries because in some cases it is possible
for the seat unit to be placed in an unlocked position as it is not wide
enough. The pushchair can tip over when facing up a slope if there is a
nursery bag (2 kg) on the handle. There are several problems with the
restraint system. There is a risk of entrapment because within the access
zone there are shear and compression points between moving parts. The
internal lining of the pram body does not have sufficient tension so it
presents a suffocation hazard. Detachable foam, small metal parts and a
valve cap in the access zone can be easily detached, put into the mouth
and swallowed.
The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 1888.
