Plain-English summary

Hillsdale Furniture is recalling about 20,000 children's bunk beds sold exclusively at Bob's Discount Furniture stores nationwide and online from August 2010 through July 2014. The recall involves Chadwick bunk beds in white (model 1030) and mission oak (models 1245 and 1589), available in twin over full combinations. The wooden beds were made in Vietnam and sold for about $400.

The bunk bed's side mattress support rails can crack or break, posing a fall hazard. The firm has received about 650 reports of bed support rails cracking or breaking. Several incidents resulted in the collapse of the upper or bottom bunk bed, and some consumers fell from the bunk bed. Reports include eight injuries to children and adults that resulted in bruising, lacerations requiring stitches, and one upper arm fracture.

Consumers should immediately stop using the bunk beds and contact Hillsdale Furniture to arrange for the free installation of replacement rails by Bob's Discount Furniture. Bob's Discount Furniture is contacting known customers directly. Consumers can also contact Hillsdale Furniture at 800-368-0999 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.hillsdalefurniture.com.
