Hooker Furniture Recalls Bunk Beds Due to Strangulation Hazard

Reported: December 13, 2007 Initiated: December 13, 2007 #08131

Product Description

The recalled bunk beds come in twin-over-twin, twin-over-full and loft beds with the following model names: "Albany Park," "Swedish Accents," "Mariner's Landing," and "Chelsea's Place". The bunk beds come in cherry, white, and black finishes. Some of the bunk beds are also made of metal.

Reason for Recall

The bunk beds have gaps between parts of the upper bunk that could allow a child's body to pass through but not a child's head. This poses an entrapment or strangulation hazard to children and exceeds the space allowed by the federal bunk bed safety standard.

Remedy

Consumers should not allow children to use the recalled bunk beds and contact the retailer where purchased to schedule a free in-home repair.
