Hooker Furniture Bunk Beds Due to Strangulation Hazard
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
