Plain-English summary

Hooker Furniture Corporation is recalling approximately 1,300 bunk beds sold nationwide from August 2005 through August 2007. The recalled beds include twin-over-twin, twin-over-full, and loft models named "Albany Park," "Swedish Accents," "Mariner's Landing," and "Chelsea's Place." These beds are available in cherry, white, and black finishes, and some are made of metal. The beds were sold at Hooker Furniture retailers for approximately $1,000.

The recall is due to gaps between parts of the upper bunk that could allow a child's body to pass through but not a child's head. This design flaw poses an entrapment or strangulation hazard to children and exceeds the space allowed by the federal bunk bed safety standard. The company has not reported any injuries associated with the recalled products.

Consumers should immediately stop allowing children to use the recalled bunk beds. To schedule a free in-home repair, consumers should contact the retailer where the bed was purchased or call Hooker Furniture toll-free at (877) 705-8408 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
