Hi all. I'm new on mumsnet but wanted to cast as wide a net as possible in issuing a warning for parents about the Shnuggle folding bath stand.
On Friday my wife and I were bathing our LO in our Shnuggle bath placed on the bath stand and the bath just fell through the stand with her still in it; bath, water and baby all crashed to the floor. Thankfully all is well with the LO but a trip to A&E was needed to at least confirm that.
There are lots of reports of this happening to other parents.
We've contacted Shnuggle as we want this product off the market before a baby gets seriously hurt. They responded today that they've added an additional 'safety strap' and went on to say this can only happen when used incorrectly ie they're placing blame entirely at our feet. Which is pretty rich considering how widespread these issues are. We also have zero faith in the strap actually working as they stand by the safety process that allowed this major issue to stay in a widely-used product.
We've also contacted trading standards.
We have no issues with the bath, but it might be worth thinking again about giving this company any of your money given how they treat parents.
