Kids’ Sleeping Bag Forclaz 10°C

I was hesitant about buying this due to a review which mentioned a strangulation risk, but I went ahead anyway and can confirm the drawstring has been removed. Seems like a great sleeping bag, my five-year-old son is looking forward to using it in the great outdoors this summer!

My daughter had this for a school trip and loved the colour and the soft material on the inside. She was lovely and warm all night

I bought two of these and used them over the summer for my children and had been pleased with the sleeping bag. However on 24th September 2017 I was woken while camping to the sound of my daughter choking. The pull cord that tightens the “hood” has got caught around her neck and was tight and strangling her. Luckily we had some scissors to cut her free. We were very shaken up by this event and if we hadn’t been sleeping so close by to her then she would have died as she was unable to untangle herself and was not able to shout out. I contacted decathlon the next day raising my concerns about the strangulation risk of this log elasticated loop cord in a child’s sleeping bag. To date despite multiple Facebook messages and posting reviews on here I have not yet had a formal response to this significant safety concern. I have however been offered an exchange if I have my receipt. This offer was very upsetting. I have been told a manager will contact me but still no response. Appalling. DO NOT BUY.
