Product: Ashley "Trails End," "Cottage Retreat," and "Stages" bunk beds
Company: Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc., of Arcadia, Wisc.
Hazard: There are gaps between parts of the bunk bed that violate federal safety standards and can be entrapment or strangulation hazards to children. For model B383, the gap between the end rails on the upper bunk is too large. For models B213 and B233, the gap between the guardrails of the upper bunk can be widened with pressure, presenting an entrapment hazard. Federal standards for bunk beds are designed to protect children against entrapment and strangulation.
