Dorel Asia Recalls to Repair Bunk Beds Due to Collapse and Fall Hazards.
A recall has been issued by Dorel Asia SRL (“Dorel Asia”) recalling about 445,000 wooden bunk beds in the United States sold at Walmart, Kmart and Target stores and online at www.walmart.com, www.kmart.com and www.target.com from September 2004 through September 2009 for about $190, reportedly because 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, according to a recall news report.
Wooden bunk beds being recalled reportedly include the following models:
