CPSC, PJ Sleep Shop Announce Recall to Repair Bunk Beds

Reported: August 11, 2004 Initiated: August 11, 2004 #04196

Product Description

The recalled models of wooden bunk beds are: Twin/Twin #1000; Twin/Double #2000; and Loft Bunk #3000. There are no model numbers on the bunk beds, but the manufacturer's label is located on the inside of the upper bunk's end structure. The Twin/Twin #1000 has top and bottom bunks of equal size. The Twin/Double #2000 has a twin top bunk and a double bottom bunk that is 15 inches wider. The Loft Bunk #3000 has the bottom bunk perpendicular to the top bunk, making an "L" shape.

Reason for Recall

These bunk beds have gaps between parts of the upper bunk end structure that violate the federal safety standard, because they pose entrapment or strangulation hazards to children. The spaces exceed that allowed by the federal bunk bed safety standard, which is designed to protect children from entrapment and strangulation.

Remedy

Stop using the recalled bunk beds and get a free repair kit from the manufacturer to cover up the entrapment hazards. Consumers can install the repair kit easily at home.
