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) that poses a risk of harm to occupants, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, 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) is recalling approximately 11,000 tubular metal bunk beds in cooperation with several companies, including AGA Warehouse, Datong Inc., Beekman Partners, and Sunrise Importer. The recall involves specific models of twin/full and twin/twin bunk beds distributed between 1988 and 1993 across various regions of the United States.

The recalled beds present a hazard because the upper level can separate from the frame, causing the bed to collapse and potentially injuring an occupant. To date, importers of metal bunk beds industry-wide have received over 500 complaints of defective bunk beds. CPSC has previously recalled approximately 317,000 metal bunk beds that present a similar hazard.

Consumers should contact the store where the bed was purchased to determine if they have a recalled model. Owners of the listed recalled models will receive a free reinforcement kit or a replacement of the bed. Additionally, owners of all metal bunk beds are advised to examine all eight mattress support corners for breaks or cracks in the paint or metal around the weld and to immediately stop using any damaged or broken beds.
