What happened

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with several companies, is recalling approximately 11,000 metal bunk beds distributed between 1988 and 1993. The upper level of these recalled beds can separate from the frame, causing the bed to collapse and potentially injure an occupant. The recalled models include various twin and full-size beds from manufacturers including AGA Warehouse, Philip M. Bell Co., Datong Inc., Beekman Partners Inc., Sunrise Importer, and B&D Sales Ltd., which were distributed across different regions of the United States.

According to the recall notice, anyone owning one of the listed recalled models should contact the store where the bed was purchased to determine if their bed is affected. The source specifies that owners of recalled beds will receive either a free reinforcement kit or a replacement bed. Additionally, owners of all metal bunk beds should examine all eight mattress support corners for breaks or cracks in the paint or metal around the weld and immediately stop using any damaged or broken beds.
