Seffi El Rancho wooden bunk beds
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
El Rancho Furniture of Lutts, Tennessee, now owned by Seffi Industries Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina, is recalling approximately 10,000 to 14,000 wooden bunk beds due to an entrapment hazard. A two-year-old child died in Lake Worth, Florida when his head became caught between the mattress and guardrail. The space between the mattress frame and guardrail was large enough for a child's body to pass through but small enough to trap the head. The recalled beds are twin-size wooden bunk beds made of pine, identifiable by a caution label on the inside frame of the bottom bunk naming either El Rancho Furniture or Seffi Industries as the manufacturer. These beds were sold for approximately $199 each at furniture retail stores between May 1990 and October 12, 1994.
Children should discontinue using these beds immediately. The manufacturer is out of business. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should discard or destroy these beds immediately.
