Hazard

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.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the bunk beds immediately and call Coaster of America for a free repair kit.

Incidents & injuries

None reported.

Product description

The recall involves model 2008, 2056, 2256 and 2258 bunk beds. The metal bunk beds were sold in twin/twin and twin/full sizes. A Coaster Company of America label can be found on the bed frame of the top bunk. The enamel finishes come in blue, black, red, yellow, or white.

Sold on

Furniture stores nationwide sold the bunk beds, from June 2000 through February 2004, for between $150 and $250.
