Washington, DC: Dorel Asia SRL, is recalling about 445,000 wooden bunk beds in the United States and a further 21,700 in Canada because 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.

CPSC and Dorel Asia have received 23 reports of the side rails cracking or breaking, including seven reports of minor bruises or abrasions.

The recalled bunk beds were sold at Walmart, Kmart and Target stores and online at www.walmart.com, www.kmart. For details on model number, colors and manufacturing dates of the affected products, please visit: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml11/11214.html.
