Every Child’s Nightmare: What Do You Do When Your Bunk Bed Collapses?

When I was a young boy, I slept in a bunk bed with my younger brother on the top. When I went to college, I shared a room with two other men in the dormitory and also slept on the bottom of the bunk bed and one of my pervasive thoughts was what would happen if the top bunk fell on top of me? Just about every bottom bunkers nightmare.

Recently a recall of defective bunk beds was made by Dorel Asia SRL. Dorel Asia SRL recalled approximately 444,000 wooden bunk beds in the United States and a further 21,700 bunk beds in Canada due to wooden side rails that run from the headboard to the footboard and holds the bunk bed’s mattress in place and can split and cause the bunk bed to collapse posing a fall hazard to consumers. The recalled bunk beds were sold at Walmart, KMart, and Target stores and online at www.walmart.com, and www.kmart.com.
