The national chain store announced the recall at the weekend after it found the Dymples Portacot could cause serious infant injuries.
The product, with an article number 8286069 that can be found on the label sewn into the mattress and cot, was sold in Big W stores nationally from December 11, 2014 to May 24, 2018.
“At BIG W, we take the safety of our customers very seriously,” Big W said in a statement.
“While we are not aware of any safety incidents with this product, the recall is necessary because recent laboratory testing has revealed that the product does not comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2195:2010 - Folding Cot.
“There is a risk of injury to a child and customers should immediately cease using the product and return it to any BIG W store for a full refund.
“BIG W apologises to its customers for any inconvenience caused by this recall.”
