Zeeman is warning about a baby sleeping bag whose zip fastening may come loose. This could cause a baby to slip further into the sleeping bag, covering its nose or mouth.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) published a safety warning about the sleeping bag on Tuesday. According to the regulator, the fastening at the zip may come loose. This could make the neck opening larger than intended.
The product concerned is article number 78021–123445. According to the warning, the sleeping bag was sold in Zeeman stores and through the online shop between 16 June and 25 September 2026.
Zeeman is asking customers to stop using the product immediately and return it to a store. Customers can choose replacement or a refund of the purchase price there. The article number is shown on the care label and the till receipt.
The NVWA writes that, because of the risk, the product does not meet safety requirements. The warning does not state whether any incidents involving the sleeping bag have already been reported. The regulator refers customers to Zeeman for further information.
The recall applies to this specific article number. Anyone who owns another Zeeman baby sleeping bag cannot automatically conclude from this warning that it is covered by the recall. If in doubt, consumers can compare the article number with Zeeman’s product information.
