WASHINGTON (AP) - The Consumer Product Safety Commission is
ordering the recall of over 9,300 youth beds because of the toy
chests attached to them.
The commission says the chest lids can close too quickly and
entrap a child. A 22-month-old boy in California was reportedly
strangled.
The recall involves two youth beds by Bayside Furnishings of San
Diego: the LaJolla Boat Bed and the Pirates of the Caribbean Twin
Trundle Bed. They were sold at Costco and other stores nationwide
from January 2006 to May 2008 for between $700 and $1,400.
The commission says the beds are OK, but parents and caregivers
are urged to immediately stop children from using the toy chests
attached to the footboards. Consumers can get a free repair kit.
Sold at: Costco and furniture retail stores nationwide and Costco.com from January 2006 through May 2008 for between $700 and $1,400.
Manufactured in: China
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop children from using the recalled toy chests and contact the firm for instructions on receiving a free repair kit with replacement lid supports.
