How do I check a Marks and Spencer 2.5 tog sleeping bag against the neck-measurement recall?

Which M&S 2.5 tog bag does the November 2025 notice name?

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) published Product Recall: Marks and Spencer Stripe 2.5 Tog Baby Sleepbag (2511-0077) on 11 November 2025. The notice names one product family: a striped 2.5 tog blue baby sleeping bag sold on M&S.com and in Clothing & Home stores, product code T92/4648S, country of origin Sri Lanka. It is not a recall of every M&S sleepbag.

Official records show the hazard as strangulation: the neck measurement does not fall within the parameters specified in BS EN 16781. The notice also states the product does not meet the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

How do I match a used or gifted bag to that notice?

A marketplace photo of navy stripes is not enough. Recalled and non-recalled M&S bags can look similar. You need the care-label code or a barcode, then a search against the official list.

1. 1
   Photograph the sewn-in label Turn the bag inside out. Copy product code T92/4648S if present, the printed barcode, size band and 2.5 tog line. If the seller will not show the label, treat that as a reason not to buy rather than a gap to guess.
2. 2
   Compare the three official barcodes The notice lists 9927667, 9930230 and 9944855. A match on any of those, with product code T92/4648S, is a match to 2511-0077.
3. 3
   Search GOV.UK, then the M&S recalls hub Type T92/4648S or “Stripe 2.5 Tog Baby Sleepbag” into the GOV.UK Product Safety Alerts, Reports and Recalls keyword box. Then open the M&S Product Recalls help page named in the notice.
4. 4
   Follow the customer-service path on the notice OPSS says stop using the product immediately and visit Product Recalls — M&S. Further questions go to M&S Customer Services via the website or 0333 014 8555. MayTally does not process returns.

What does “neck measurement” mean on this recall?

The notice does not publish the millimetre reading OPSS used, and it does not ask parents to re-measure the collar at home. It records that the opening on this product code is outside the parameters in the relevant standard, BS EN 16781. That is a laboratory finding on the named bag, not a DIY test.

If you already own a different M&S sleepbag — another tog, a plain colour, or a later season with a different product code — this notice does not automatically cover it. Search that code on GOV.UK separately. A British Standard mark on a different bag is not a verdict on T92/4648S, and a missing mark is not proof of a recall.

On MayTally, the second-hand safety lookup is a shortcut to a hand-picked set of OPSS notices. It is not a replacement for the full GOV.UK list.

The bag came from Vinted or a relative — does the notice still apply?

A recall from end users is written against the product, not the first till receipt. If the label matches T92/4648S or one of the three barcodes, official records show you should stop using it and use the M&S path on the notice. M&S sets its own refund or collection terms; read what is on the recalls page the day you call.

• Gifted from a grandparent. Ask for a photo of the care label before the first night. The Lullaby Trust’s second-hand checklist is: instructions, British Standards mark, a GOV.UK recall search, and the item in one piece.
• Marketplace listing with no label. Do not guess from the stripe pattern. Ask the seller for T92/4648S and the barcode, or walk away.
• Washed-out print. If you can still read 2.5 tog and Marks and Spencer but not the code, search 2511-0077 and compare the official product image on the GOV.UK PDF with your bag in good light — then still prefer a code match.

If my M&S bag is not T92/4648S, is that an all-clear?

No listing for your code means no recall on file for that notice. It does not mean anyone has inspected the bag in your hands. Other OPSS sleepbag notices exist for other brands and years. Re-run the brand and product code on GOV.UK if you buy another used bag later.

The Lullaby Trust’s sleep-product page lists BS EN 16781:2018 as the standard to look for on sleepbags, and states that a British Standard is not a SIDS standard. Keep the cot clear: baby on their back, on a firm flat surface, in the same room as you for the first six months, as that charity sets out.

In shortMatch T92/4648S or barcodes 9927667 / 9930230 / 9944855 to OPSS 2511-0077. Listed: stop using it and contact M&S on the notice path. Not listed: you have cleared this one notice, not every check.

What should I send the seller or M&S?

1. A photo of the full care label showing T92/4648S or the barcode.
2. The size band (0–6, 6–18 or 18–36 months) and the 2.5 tog line.
3. The PSD number 2511-0077 if you are calling 0333 014 8555 so they can open the same notice.
4. Whether you were the first buyer — useful for their records, not a condition the GOV.UK notice itself sets.
