Gothic Cabinet Craft is recalling about 1,500 bunk beds. The recall affects twin, twin extra-large, and twin over full beds.
The bunk beds do not have sufficient headboards, footboards, or guardrails and have gaps between parts of the upper bunk that could allow a child's body to pass through but not a child's head. These bunk beds pose a fall, entrapment, and strangulation hazard to children and violate the spacing requirements of the federal bunk bed safety standard.
Both metal and wooden bunk beds are being recalled. The bunk bed styles include dark oak and metal, solid pine, others come with six drawers as part of the base.
The beds, made in the U.S., were sold by retail stores in the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area from June 2000 through October 2008 for between $225 and $850.
Consumers should immediately stop using these bunk beds and contact Gothic Cabinet Craft Inc. to schedule an appointment and free repair.
For more information, contact Gothic Cabinet Craft Outlet toll free at (877) 946-8442 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.gothiccabinetcraft.com.
