Main risks

• Suffocation or smothering from loose fabrics, cushions, soft toys or cot bumpers inside the cot.
• Strangulation or entanglement from cords, ties, mosquito nets or ribbons within the baby's reach.
• Entrapment in gaps between the accessory, the mattress and the cot bars if it does not fit well.
• Choking on small parts, decorations or fillings if the seams break.
• Overheating and reduced ventilation if the cot is covered with dense fabrics.
• Falls or climbing if the accessory is used as a foothold to climb.
• Skin irritation or discomfort due to unsuitable materials or laundry products.
• Fire risk if fabrics are placed near heat sources or flames.

Safe use

• Keep the sleep area clear: remove soft or decorative accessories during naps and at night.
• Fit each accessory firmly and without slack, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Keep ribbons and cords out of reach; avoid loops or ties in the sleep area.
• Check fastenings, hook-and-loop fasteners, zips and buttons before each use; if they are loose, do not use it.
• Do not cover the cot completely with fabrics; ensure good ventilation and that nothing covers the baby's face.
• Place organisers or pocket tidies on the outside of the cot and out of the baby's reach.
• Remove canopies, mosquito nets or mobiles as soon as the baby can sit up or reach them.
• Keep accessories away from radiators, heaters, candles or other heat sources.
• Remove bags and plastic packaging immediately.

Storage and maintenance

• Wash textiles before first use and regularly according to the care label; use a mild detergent and rinse well.
• Dry completely before refitting to prevent damp and mould.
• Inspect seams, fillings, fastenings and decorations; if there are tears or loose filling, stop using the accessory.
• Store clean products in a dry, ventilated place, out of reach of children and pets.
• Keep small parts and hardware in a sealed bag and separate from the sleep area.
• Replace the accessory if it loses firmness, becomes misshapen or no longer fits correctly.
• Do not modify the product or add improvised elements; use only the intended fastening systems.
