BATCH NO: |
This information is for customers who ordered a Shnuggle Folding Bath Stand Before 6th February 2022. If your bath stand already has a fabric webbing safety strap - you do not need to take further action.
As safety is our number one concern we have designed an additional safety strap that can be easily fitted to the bath to prevent the risk of the baby falling from the product.
If you own a Shnuggle Folding Bath Stand, please stop using the product immediately and order a free safety strap using the following link:
