Reported by: Shannon Bruffett Thursday, Oct 1, 2009 @06:37am CDT Big Lots Recalls about 20,000 Bunk Beds for repair. The bunk beds' mattress support slats and side support railings can break, posing a risk of the bunk bed collapsing and a fall hazard to consumers. Big Lots has received 14 reports. This recall includes wooden bunk beds with a three step ladder. Model numbers WP-9108-1 and WP-9108-2 are included in this recall. The model number is located on a sticker on the bunk bed's interior panel of the headboard or the footboard. They were sold exclusively at Big Lots stores nationwide from May 2008 through February 2009 for about $300. Consumers should immediately stop using recalled bunk beds and contact Big Lots to return the defective parts and to receive a free repair kit. For more information, contact Big Lots toll-free at (866) 244-5687 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.biglots.com |
