NEW YORK — Nearly 138,000 platform beds sold at major retailers, including Amazon and Walmart, are being recalled in the United States and Canada because they can collapse and pose fall and injury hazards.
Utah-based importer CVB Inc. is recalling Lucid-branded platform beds with upholstered square tufted headboards. According to Thursday notices from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, the beds can sag, break or collapse during use.
So far, there have been 245 incidents of this in the United States, resulting in 18 related injuries such as contusions and bruises, the CPSC said. A further 11 reports of “bed bugs” have been reported in Canada, with no further injuries.
According to Lucid, the recall covers an discontinued version of its platform beds, which the company says were manufactured between 2019 and 2021.
While manufacturing ended several years ago, the now-recalled beds continued to be sold at major retailers until April 2024, the CPSC said. In addition to Amazon, Walmart and Lucid’s website, consumers may also have purchased the beds at Bed Bath & Beyond, eBay, Home Depot, Macys, Target.com, Wayfair and other retailers.
About 137,000 of the recalled beds were sold in the United States and 890 in Canada, the CPSC said.
The beds – which were made in Malaysia and come in twin, full, queen, king and cal-king sizes – can be identified by a white team label located on the back of the headboard. “Made For: CVB INC, 1525 W 2960 S, LOGAN, UT 84321” should be printed on it.
People who have the recalled beds are asked to stop using them immediately and contact Lucid for a free replacement frame.
Consumers must write the word “recalled” on the bed’s support rails with a permanent marker and send photos to Lucid. More information on obtaining a replacement can be found on Lucid’s recall page.
