Police have widened their warning to parents over potentially dangerous beds.
We reported last year that a seven-month-old baby died in November at a property in Melrosegate, York, leading to the police being called in.
Together with South Yorkshire Trading Standards officers investigated a company called Playtime Beds UK Ltd, which was served a notice to cease and desist trading last November.
They have since discovered that a former employee of Playtime Beds Ltd founded their own company – Magical Dream Beds Ltd in Rotherham.
It has supplied a bed designed by Playtime Beds after that company was forced to close.
This discovery has prompted a further safety warning to unsuspecting customers of Magical Dream Beds Ltd.

North Yorkshire Police and Sheffield City Council’s Trading Standards team are appealing to customers who have been in contact with Magical Dream Beds Ltd since 3 November 2016 to contact them.
