(Gray News) - Nearly 40,000 bunk beds have been recalled due to potential entrapment and strangulation hazards.
Angel Line Beds with angled ladders have a safety issue that can create a gap between the ladder step and the frame.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall after a 2-year-old in Ohio got caught in a gap in the bunk bed ladder in May 2018 and died from strangulation.
Three models are included in the recall:
Model name | Model numbers |
---|---|
Fremont Twin over Twin Bunk Bed | 71210-21, 71210-49 and 71210-67 |
Creston Twin over Twin Bunk Bed | 71230-21, 71230-49 and 71230-75 |
Brandon Twin over Full Bunk Bed | 71420-21 and 71420-75 |
The products were sold by Amazon, Walmart, ojcommerce and Wayfair.
Consumers should stop using the beds immediately, prohibit children’s access to the beds and get in touch with the company for a free repair kit.
