Cosco Recalls Youth Options Metal Toddler Beds Due to Entrapment Risk

Plain-English summary

Cosco, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling approximately 155,000 Model T22 and T23 Youth Options metal toddler beds. These beds were manufactured since December 1990 and are constructed of red or white tubular steel with arched headboards and footboards.

The recall is due to a risk that a child may become entrapped between the bed's arches or between the bed mattress and an arch of the headboard or footboard. Cosco has received approximately 50 reports of children becoming entrapped, including one death. The beds were sold nationwide from December 1990 to March 15, 1992, at retail stores including Toys-R-Us, Service Merchandise, Sears, and Walmart, for approximately $50.00.

Consumers should stop using the affected toddler beds immediately. To identify if their bed is affected, consumers should look for a white label on the mattress support containing "10T22" or "10T23." If found, they should write down the date code and measure the distance between the top two arches of the headboard. Consumers should then call Cosco at 1-800-468-0174 to obtain free modification parts, which may include new headboards, footboards, or added parts.
