About 3,600 bunk beds manufactured by Home Line Industries are being recalled. The beds have openings between the guardrails and between guardrails and the end structures that are too large.
A child's body could slide between the opening and become trapped by the child's head. This poses a strangulation hazard to children.
Description: The recalled Home Line bunk beds include the following models and styles: S130 (black), S131 (white), S132 (red), and S133 (blue) have a single top mattress and a double width bottom mattress; S135 (black) and S136 (white) that have a single top and a single bottom mattress; and S116 (black) and S117 (white) that have a single top mattress and a bottom mattress that also converts into a couch.
Some units are labeled with the "Home Line" name and the model numbers on the top front railing. Contact the firm to help determine if your bunk bed is part of this recall.
The beds were sold in furniture stores nationwide from September 2002 through May 2003 for about $190.
Consumer Contact: Home Line Industries Inc., at (800) 523-3310 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
