Parents have been warned to stop their children sleeping in one manufacturers’ beds after the death of a seven-month-old baby.

Playtime Beds issued a safety warning stating its made-to-measure beds "could lead to risks to children such as asphyxiation or strangulation, falling, entrapment or crushing".

Children's cots, twin beds, bunk beds, cabin beds, high sleeper beds and triple and quadruple beds are covered by the warning.

Craig Williams and Playtime Beds, which has been supplying beds since 2011, has stopped trading.

The safety warning advised customers 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".

One customer, Lisa Marelli, described herself as "feeling confused" by the situation after paying hundreds of pounds for a bespoke princess castle bed.

She wrote on Facebook: "As you can imagine the first thing is to not let me little girl anywhere near the bed as her safety comes first. Then Anger!! as we are all left not knowing what the problem is and with this huge bed not been used.My little girl is now left on her mattress on the floor and is heartbroken."

Mr Williams traded as Playtime Beds using Facebook and eBay from about 2011 but has now stopped trading.

The seven-month-old died on November 3 at a property in Melrosegate, York, North Yorkshire Police said.
