CPSC Recalls Imported Metal Bunk Beds Due to Collapse Risk

CPSC is recalling imported metal bunk beds from nine importers because they may unexpectedly collapse, posing an injury risk to occupants.

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 structural defect (collapse) in a product used by children, posing a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced corrective action programs for four importers of imported metal bunk beds due to a collapsing risk. The recall also continues five previously announced programs for other importers. The affected products are high gloss, tubular metal frame children's bunk beds, including twin/full and twin/twin configurations.

The hazard is that these bunk beds may unexpectedly collapse during use, which could result in injury to bed occupants from the falling upper bunk. The affected units are identified by specific features such as protruding metal mattress support tongues that extend from corner posts and slide into the mattress frames, or distinctive C-shaped frames and scroll work depending on the importer.

Consumers should stop using the affected beds immediately. To determine if a bed is affected, consumers should contact the retailer for information on the importer or manufacturer. They should then contact the respective importer or manufacturer to determine if they should receive a replacement bed or a retrofit kit consisting of reinforcement brackets. The source text lists specific unit counts for each importer, ranging from 2,700 to 175,000 units, and notes that CPSC is continuing to investigate additional importers.
