Hooker Furniture Recalls Bunk Beds Due to Strangulation Hazard

CPSC published a recall notice for Bunk Beds from Hooker Furniture on December 13, 2007. CPSC identifies this hazard: The bunk beds have gaps between parts of the upper bunk that could allow a child's body to pass through but not a child's head. This poses an entrapment or strangulation hazard to children and exceeds the space allowed by the federal bunk bed safety standard. The official remedy states: Consumers should not allow children to use the recalled bunk beds and contact the retailer where purchased to schedule a free in-home repair.
