Plain-English summary

PBteen, a division of Williams-Sonoma Inc., is recalling approximately 5,900 Sleep and Study Loft Beds due to a fall and injury hazard. The side rail on the bed can crack, allowing the mattress support to collapse. The recalled beds are available in espresso, honey, white, and black colors and feature an elevated bed with a desk and bookcase underneath.

The firm has received seven reports of the bed rail cracking or splitting. In one reported incident, a child sustained lacerations to his head when the side rail split as he climbed down the ladder. The beds were sold at PBteen stores in Georgia, New York, and Illinois, and online at www.pbteen.com for about $1,800. The units were delivered to consumers from January 2008 through July 2010.

Consumers should immediately contact PBteen to schedule the installation of a free replacement side rail support bracket. For additional information, consumers can contact PBteen toll-free at (877) 494-9822 between 7 a.m. and midnight ET or visit the firm's website at www.pbteen.com.
