What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (structural collapse) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Gold Key Enterprises is voluntarily recalling high gloss, tubular metal frame children's bunk beds. The affected models include twin over full, twin over twin, and twin over futon configurations. These beds were distributed from 1988 through September 1993 and are identifiable by protruding metal mattress support tongues and distinctive scroll work on the headboards, footboards, and guard rails.
The recall is issued because the bunk beds may unexpectedly collapse during use. The upper level can fall, posing a risk of injury to occupants. Gold Key has received approximately 100 reports of bed frames cracking or breaking, though no injuries have been reported. The company is out of business, and there is no remedy offered other than discarding or destroying the products.
Consumers should stop using the affected beds immediately and discard or destroy them. The beds were sold largely through retailers in the Midwest, including Rhodes, Unclaimed Freight, Rottmans, Schewel Furniture, Value City, Freight Sales, The Room Store, and Arronsons. CPSC is also investigating other metal bunk beds and urges consumers to inspect all metal bunk beds for cracks or breaks in the paint or metal around the welds.
