Bunk Beds Recalled By Land of Nod Due to Fall Hazard

Chrissie Cole — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:55:00 GMT

The Land of Nod, in cooperation with the CPSC, voluntarily recalled 750 Cottage Bunk Beds because screws are missing from the upper bunk’s guardrails, which can cause the vertical slats to detach posing a fall hazard to small children.

To date, the company has not received any reports of injury but there has been two incidents in which the vertical slats detached from the upper bunk.

The recalled beds were sold in both white (model #s 236-519 and 188-174) and pine/honey finishes (model #s 459-410 and 172-596) and included a long and a short upper bunk guardrail, each of which should be secured to the inside of the upper bunk beds side rail with screws. Stickers bearing the model numbers are located on the inside of the lower bunk headboard.

The agency recommends checking that all screws needed to attach the guardrails to the upper bunk have been installed. If you find your bed is missing screws, you should contact The Land of Nod to receive new screws free of charge.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact The Land of Nod at (800) 933-9904, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday.

Curious George Recalled Over Lead

Over 200,000 Curious George stuffed animals have been recalled because of too much lead in the paint used to make the dolls. The recalled stuffed animals were made in China, which has seen a string of recalls this year over product safety.

The Curious George dolls were sold form 2005 to 2007 in stores nationwide. The dolls were sold in five different models all with a plastic face. They came with an activity book.

The stuffed animals were distributed by Mattel. The company is offering a full refund to those who purchased them. Lead can cause injury and brain damage to those that have been exposed to it. Children are most at risk because of their developing bodies. The Curious George dolls had a retail price of around $15.
