CPSC, Northern Bedroom's Inc. Announce Recall of Bunk Beds
Description
The recalled wooden bunk beds are made out of Northern White Ash and have natural, cherry, honey or golden finishes. They were sold under the model names Prestige, Spindle, and Cottage. There is no identifying information on the beds.
Hazard
The top bunk does not have guardrails on both sides. A child could fall or become entrapped between the wall and the mattress if there are not guardrails on the top bunk.
Reported Incidents
CPSC is not aware of any deaths associated with the beds being recalled. However, since 1990, CPSC has received reports of seven children who died from becoming entrapped between the bed and the wall in upper bunks of bunk beds without guardrails.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled beds immediately and email the company to receive free guardrails for the top bunk.
