Name of product: Metal Twin/Twin and Twin/Full Bunk Beds
Units: 22,000
Manufacturer/Importer: Coaster Co. of America, Santa Fe Springs, Calif.
Hazard: A gap between the step of the built-in ladder and the top bunk allows enough room for a child's body to slip through but will not allow for a child's head to pass through. This poses a serious strangulation risk. Federal standards for bunk beds are designed to protect children against entrapment and strangulation.
Incidents/Injuries: None reported.
Description: The recall involves model 2008, 2056, 2256 and 2258 bunk beds. The metal bunk beds were sold in twin/twin and twin/full sizes. A Coaster Company of America label can be found on the bed frame of the top bunk. The enamel finishes come in blue, black, red, yellow, or white.
Sold at: Furniture stores nationwide sold the bunk beds from June 2000 through February 2004 for between $150 and $250.
Manufactured in: China
Remedy: Consumers should stop using the bunk beds immediately and call Coaster of America for a free repair kit.
