John Lewis are currently advertising baby boxes at £50 as safe for new born infants to sleep in. In Scotland boxes are given free to new mothers so it is scandalous to charge for them. In any case, they are NOT recommended as safe sleeping spaces for new borns. www.lullabytrust.org.uk/are-baby-boxes-safe-to-sleep-baby/
"It is not possible for baby boxes to fully comply with safety standards, as current British and EU safety standards for nursery furniture only exist for traditional cots cribs and bassinets and there is currently no specific standard for the use of a cardboard box as a sleeping place for an infant."

I would be very cautious of making a sweeping accusation and naming a company on a public site.
I googled four key words and the OPs post came up on the first hit.
Should the OPs claims be groundless this could be construed as libel.
Personally I would not relish the prospect of JL v sparkly in a court case.
