A bed manufacturer has advised parents to stop using their Playtime Beds after a baby died.
Playtime Beds has ceased trading following the death of a seven-month-old baby in England. They have issued a warning to parents about their products which include cots, beds, bunk beds, cabin beds, high sleeper beds and twin beds for children.
They’ve said that the products may cause “asphyxiation or strangulation, falling, entrapment or crushing”.
Their beds are designed to look like castles and playhouses and often featured stairs and extra fixtures.
They issued the following statement on their website:
“Craig Williams and Playtime Beds Ltd of Sheffield are issuing an important safety warning for bespoke products made and supplied nationally since approximately 2011 due to potential safety risks arising from their design, manufacture and erection, in particular, safety risks to children.
Craig Williams and Playtime Beds Ltd would strongly advise that until such time that they are able to determine which bed and extras you purchased, you stop using the bed immediately either for sleep or play, and ensure that children in particular do not climb, sleep in it or play in or on it.”
