  • In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), PJ Sleep Shop of Portland, Ore., is voluntarily recalling 337 wooden bunk beds. These bunk beds have gaps between parts of the upper bunk end structure that violate the federal safety standard because they pose entrapment or strangulation hazards to children. The spaces exceed that allowed by the federal bunk bed safety standard, which is designed to protect children from entrapment and strangulation.

  • In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Coaster Co. of America, Santa Fe Springs, Calif., is voluntarily recalling metal twin/twin and twin/full bunk beds. A gap between the step of the built-in ladder and the top bunk allows enough room for a child's body to slip through but will not allow for a child's head to pass through. This poses a serious strangulation risk. Federal standards for bunk beds are designed to protect children against entrapment and strangulation.

    The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing a recall program to retrofit approximately 5,000 wooden bunk beds manufactured and distributed by Catalina Furniture Company Inc. of Fullerton, Calif.

The spaces can be large enough for a child's body to pass through, but small enough to entrap the child's head. The program affects Catalina Model No. 3892 bunk beds manufactured prior to January 1, 1995.

    The L. Powell Company Inc., Culver City, CA, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily providing a free corner kit to reinforce certain distinctive C-shaped children's tubular metal bunk beds imported and distributed by the company. According to Powell, the upper bunk on these beds could fall suddenly --usually after squeaking or creaking that consumers may not recognize as warning sounds -- causing the bunk bed to collapse. Powell's action responds to a CPSC bunk bed industry safety alert. The Powell Company has received 36 reports of "C" beds collapsing, including five reports of injury. Powell imported and distributed about 23,400 "C" beds to stores from June 1992 through March 31, 1993. A large percentage of the beds were sold by Pace Membership Warehouse, Inc. and Costco Wholesale.
