Babies are particularly at risk of suffocation and choking from plastic sheets and bags. Simple changes can make a big difference to a child’s safety. To avoid danger of suffocation and choking:
- Never leave loose nappy sacks lying around.
- Always keep nappy sacks in a drawer or cupboard.
- Always keep them in their original packaging.
- Only remove nappy bags from packaging as needed.
- Never leave nappy sacks within a baby’s reach.
- Never place nappy sacks in or near a baby’s cot/pram.
