Plain-English summary

Pottery Barn Kids, a division of Williams-Sonoma Inc., is recalling the Madeline Bed Canopy due to an impact hazard. The connections of the posts to the top rails of the canopy can come apart, allowing components of the canopy to fall. This poses an impact hazard to consumers. The firm is aware of 33 reports of components falling, including one report of a cut that required stitches and nine other reports of minor cuts, bruises, and/or bumps.

The recalled canopy is part of the Madeline Bedroom Collection and is made of wood.
