Children's Bunk Beds Recalled

The side rail on the bunk beds can collapse, causing the child to fall.

 The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled wooden bunk beds made by Dorel Asia SRL, due to reports of the side rail collapsing. 

The commission reports that the wooden side rails that run from the headboard to the footboard and hold the bunk bed’s mattress in place can split and cause the bunk bed to collapse, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

About two dozen reports of collapse or broken side rails have been received, according to the commission with about 10 incidents of the occupant receiving minor bruises or abrasions.
