The CCPC identified the sale of-feeding pillows on non-EU websites targeted at Irish consumers

The sale of baby self-feeding pillows has been banned with immediate effect.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission warns it could pose a risk of death or serious harm.

The CCPC said it could cause choking or aspiration pneumonia, and the device goes against HSE advice on safe bottle-feeding.

Consumers should not buy self-feeding pillows. Those who already own a self-feeding pillow should;

  • immediately stop using it and
  • dispose of it safely so that it cannot be used by anyone else

The CCPC identified baby sale of-feeding pillows on non-EU websites targeted at Irish consumers.

As yet, the CCPC has not identified any for sale in retail stores in Ireland.
