138,000 Beds Recalled

NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly 138,000 platform beds sold at major retailers including Amazon and Walmart are being recalled across the U.S. and Canada. That’s because they can collapse, posing fall and injury risks. Utah-based importer CVB Inc. is recalling the Lucid-branded platform beds with an upholstered square tufted headboard. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, the beds can sag, break or collapse during use. To date, there have been 245 incidents of this occurring in the U.S., causing 18 injuries. An additional 11 reports of bed failures have been reported in Canada. Owners of the platform beds under recall are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Lucid for a free replacement frame.
