A bed firm boss who designed a cot in which a seven-month-old baby "choked to death" has been jailed for three years and four months.
Craig Williams's Playtime Beds Ltd sold the cot bed where Oscar Abbey got stuck trying to crawl through a gap.
Oscar's lifeless body was found by his parents caught in the bed at their home in York on 3 November 2016.
Williams, 37, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, pleaded guilty to two charges at Leeds Crown Court.
The father of three admitted a health and safety failing to discharge the employer's general duty and a fraud charge.
A jury in his trial was asked to return a not guilty verdict to gross negligence manslaughter.

Williams's employee, Joseph Bruce, 31, of Kimberworth Park Road, Rotherham, was jailed for six months after admitting fraud.
