CPSC, Coaster Co. of America Announce Recall of Bunk Beds
Coaster Co. of America, Santa Fe Springs, Calif.
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.
Sold at
Furniture stores nationwide sold the bunk beds, from June 2000 through February 2004, for between $150 and $250.

22,000

None reported.
