CPSC, Coaster Co. of America Announce Recall of Bunk Beds
CPSC Recall1 injuries · 2004-05-13 · 04135
Hazards
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.
