What the petition asks
Ashlea-mae lloyd my daughter aged 15mth died due to compression to the neck after her head became trapped in the drop side of these cots 3rd september 2010, darkest day of my life and still haunted to this day. I cannot allow another tragedy like this
Over 70 child deaths recorded since 1970 not including minor/serious injuries to a child 1 death is more than enough. These cots have been banned in America even the resale at carboots/flea markets after millions of of drop down cots were recalled and resulted in yet another infant death in 1996 of which the childs mother bravely campaigned and got them banned, other countries have taken Americas lead in banning these death traps also please please help and support us
