Hooker Furniture Recalls Bunk Beds Due to Strangulation Hazard
The hazard
The bunk beds have gaps between parts of the upper bunk that could allow a child's body to pass through but not a child's head. This poses an entrapment or strangulation hazard to children and exceeds the space allowed by the federal bunk bed safety standard.
Incidents reported: None reported.
What to do now
Consumers should not allow children to use the recalled bunk beds and contact the retailer where purchased to schedule a free in-home repair.
Contact: For additional information, contact Hooker Furniture toll-free at (877) 705-8408 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.hookerfurniture.com
