The categorical product’s natural maps aren’t necessarily epimorphisms
Consider the following category: subject to the relation . Then is the product of and , since it (vacuously) verifies the universal property, but is not an epimorphism. Dually, one gets that the coproduct’s natural maps aren’t monomorphisms in general.
