Has the use of ‘V’ pillows been banned in care homes?

Dear Frank,

I had not heard anything about the use of V pillows so I asked our Health & Safety and Infection Control Specialist, Sally Beck who also was not aware of any concerns about the use of V pillows.

So our answer is that we do not believe that the use of V pillows has been banned in care homes.

If you can give us any further information on this, we will be happy to follow it up for you.

Best wishes.

Sheila
