Gothic Cabinet Craft recalls bunk beds
Furniture poses fall hazard

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Gothic Cabinet Craft Inc., of Maspeth, N.Y., in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, has voluntary recalled about 1,500 bunk beds. While they pose a fall hazard, no incidents or injuries have been reported.
The recall involves Gothic’s twin, twin extra-large and twin-over-full bunk beds. They were sold in retail stores in the New York and New Jersey metropolitan areas from June 2000 through October 2008 for between $225 and $850.
The recall was issued because 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.
Manufactured in the U.S., both metal and wooden bunk beds are being recalled. The bunk bed styles include dark oak and metal; solid pine; and others that come with six drawers as part of the base.
Consumers should immediately stop using these bunk beds and contact Gothic Cabinet Craft Inc. to schedule an appointment and free repair. For more information, contact Gothic at (877) 946-8442 or visit the firm's Web site at www.gothiccabinetcraft.com.
