Leeds Crown Court heard how the lifeless body of Oscar Abbey, who had got his head stuck while trying to crawl through a gap in the bed, was found by his parents in November 2016.

Prosecutors said that Craig Williams, the owner of the Playtime Beds Ltd company which sold them the cot, had given reassurances that it was suitable for children aged six or seven months.

A judge heard how the 37-year-old, of Park View Road, Kimberworth, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, had continued to make beds even after Oscar's death, and did not modify his designs.

Judge Martin Spencer, sentencing, told Williams that he had a "significant responsibility" for Oscar's death, adding: "You should bear the brunt of that responsibility for the rest of your life."
