The product
The twin bunk beds are designed for children and were sold in a kit to be assembled by consumers. Only model number 82008 is included in this recall. The bunk beds are made of maple wood with a four-step ladder attached to the side and three pullout drawers under the bottom bunk. These bunk beds have no markings or labeling.
What can happen
The recalled bunk beds do not comply with federal safety standards and have wooden side slat supports that can separate from the bed frame, causing the upper bunk to collapse.
The fix
