CPSC, Select Comfort Announce Recall of Adjustable Beds
Select Comfort Corporation, of Minneapolis, Minn.
Hazard
When exposed to severely cold temperatures and impact, such as may occur during shipping, the power cord insulation on the electric air pump can crack, creating a short-circuit or exposing live electrical wires and presenting a shock or electrocution hazard.
Remedy
Select Comfort is contacting all registered owners and will provide a replacement air pump at no charge to consumers whose cords exhibit damage to the wire insulation. Consumers should unplug the pump from the electrical outlet before inspecting the power cord. The bed can continue to be used even if the pump has to be replaced, but the pump should remain unplugged, if the wire insulation shows any sign of cracking.
Sold at
Directly through Select Comfort as well as certain specialty mattress retailers and QVC nationwide, from November 2002 through March 15, 2003, for between $500 and $3,300 per bed set.
