Bunk Beds Recalled by d-Scan Due to Collapse Hazard

Reported: September 4, 2007 Initiated: September 4, 2007 #07574

Product Description

The twin bunk beds are designed for children and were sold in a kit to be assembled by consumers. Only model number 82008 is included in this recall. The bunk beds are made of maple wood with a four-step ladder attached to the side and three pullout drawers under the bottom bunk. These bunk beds have no markings or labeling.

Reason for Recall

The recalled bunk beds do not comply with federal safety standards and have wooden side slat supports that can separate from the bed frame, causing the upper bunk to collapse.

Remedy

Consumers who have not already received and installed a free repair kit for the side slat supports should immediately stop using the bunk beds until repairs can be made. Contact the firm to receive a free repair kit that can easily be installed at home. Retailers have contacted some consumers who purchased the bunk beds directly.
