Gothic Cabinet Craft Bunk Beds
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
What it looks like
