Plain-English summary

Samuel Lawrence Furniture is expanding a recall of approximately 2,400 full- and twin-size Bordeaux Collection bed frames in the United States and 100 in Canada. The recalled beds feature wooden headboards and footboards in a cherry finish. The recall was first announced in June 2012 and expanded on July 18, 2012.

The recall is due to a fall hazard where the hardware holding the headboard and footboard can loosen or detach. The company has received more than 100 reports of headboards or footboards detaching, including one report of a man in Florida who injured his foot when a footboard detached.

The affected beds were sold at furniture stores nationwide from August 2009 to April 2012 for between $300 and $400. The beds were manufactured by Poh Huat Furniture Ind. of Malaysia. Model numbers for the recalled beds are 8070-242 and 8070-243 for the full-size, and 8070-232 and 8070-233 for the twin-size. "Bordeaux" and a model number are printed on a white label on the back of the headboard and footboard.
