| The bunk bed models recalled for repairs are B383-58T,
B383-57T, B213-58, and B233-58 (see photos below) |
Ashley Furniture Industries
announced the recall of 22,476 “Trails End,” “Cottage Retreat,”
and “Stages” bunk beds.
Although no injuries have been reported, there
are gaps between parts of the bunk bed that violate federal
safety standards and can be entrapment or strangulation hazards
to children.
For model B383, the gap between the end rails on
the upper bunk is too large. For models B213 and B233, the gap
between the guardrails of the upper bunk can be widened with
pressure, presenting an entrapment hazard. Federal standards for
bunk beds are designed to protect children against entrapment
and strangulation.
Consumers should stop using recalled products
immediately unless otherwise instructed.
The bunk bed models recalled for repairs are
B383-58T, B383-57T, B213-58, and B233-58. The B383 models are
sold under the group name “Trails End.” The B213 is sold under
the group name “Cottage Retreat.” The B233 is sold under the
group name “Stages.” The model numbers are on product stickers
on each bunk bed. On the B383 model, the product sticker is on
the inside of the lower rail on the top bunk end panel. On the
B213 and B233 models, the product sticker is on the inside of
the lower panel on the bottom bunk.
The bunk beds being recalled for repair were
sold nationwide. Model B383 was sold beginning in December 2000.
Model B213 was sold beginning in May 2003. Model B233 was sold
beginning in June 2003. All sales of the recalled bunk beds
ended in February 2004. The units were manufactured in USA and
Brazil.
