Wood Castle Furniture Bunk Beds
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The openings between the guardrails on the bunk bed can exceed 3 ½ inches in width, which is too wide and does not meet safety standards. This presents an entrapment hazard where a child could be seriously injured or become asphyxiated.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Suffocation risk.
