The Minister for Small Business, the Honourable Bruce Billson, has published a Safety Warning Notice for the Wooden Baby Sleigh Cot Bed supplied by Frank Masons Pty Ltd.
Loose or looped cords near cots can accidentally strangle and kill small children. Babies have died from being strangled in blind, curtain and electrical cords they accessed in their cots.
Multiple cot suppliers have conducted recalls after ACCC surveillance identified a number of cots which did not meet the requirements of the mandatory safety standard.
