Ban cot bumpers and baby sleeping aids from being sold in the UK

Closed 1,811 signatures

What the petition asks

Every year babies die in cots where parents use bumpers and positional sleeping aids. These deaths are unnecessary and many are avoidable.

The recommendations for safe sleep do not include these items and many parents are misinformed in the safety of these.
