A baby product company could face a fine as high as $600,000 for allegedly selling defective cots.
The Commerce Commission filed nine charges against Baby City Retail Investments Limited in Auckland District Court Monday.
It is alleged the Lower Hutt-based company sold Milano brand cots in 2014 and 2015 that "did not comply with the prescribed product safety standard for those goods".
Court documents show the allegations related to a "3-in-1 sleigh-style" product and one called a "Phoenix".
One sale in Christchurch in October allegedly saw the company supply a cot with a "defective dropside mechanism and a potentially hazardous snag point", according to court documents.
