Hooker Furniture Bunk Beds recall: Strangulation Hazard

Hooker Furniture Recalls Bunk Beds Due to Strangulation Hazard

Why was Hooker Furniture Bunk Beds recalled?

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.

What should I do if I have this product?

Consumers should not allow children to use the recalled bunk beds and contact the retailer where purchased to schedule a free in-home repair.
