A FRESH safety warning has been issued by police and trading standards investigating the death of a seven-month-old baby in York.

North Yorkshire Police and Sheffield City Council’s Trading Standards have urged anyone who has ordered or received a bed from Magical Dream Beds Ltd to contact them.

An investigation was launched into Playtime Beds Ltd after the death of a seven-month-old baby in York last November, and the company was served a notice by Trading Standards to cease and desist trading.

A police spokeswoman said: "However, as part of the investigation into Playtime Beds Ltd, officers have found that a company trading as Magical Dream Beds Ltd, which was set up by a former employee of Playtime Beds Ltd, has since supplied a bed designed and made by Playtime Beds Ltd.

"The bed was supplied after the cease and desist notice was served. This discovery has now prompted a further safety warning to unsuspecting customers of Magical Dream Beds Ltd."

The spokeswoman said two men have been arrested on suspicion of fraud offences in relation to the investigation into Magical Dream Beds Ltd, but said the arrests were not in connection with the death of the baby.

Anyone who has been in contact with Magical Dream Beds Ltd since November 3 should contact police or trading standards, and a dedicated contact number has been set up for customers of both companies.
