Hooker Furniture Recalls Bunk Beds Due to Strangulation Hazard
CPSC Recall1 injuries · 2007-12-13 · 08131
Hazards
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.
