Big Lots recalls metal futon bunk beds with model BFB1008 due to risk of child entrapment when lowering the futon. Consumers must stop using and contact for free repair kit.
Children behind the futon or in the ladder area of the bunk bed can get entrapped when the futon and its metal frame are lowered from the seated to the flat position. Also, the space between the last rung on the bunk bed's ladder and the futon mattress is too small, which can allow a child's body to pass through, but not the head, posing a head and neck entrapment hazard.
