WASHINGTON (CBS13) ―
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling a two youth beds after the death of a Roseville boy.
The voluntary recall from Bayside Furnishings involved the LaJolla Boat Bed and Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Beds.
The recall was prompted after the 22-month-old Roseville boy strangled when the lid of the toy chest fell on the back of his head and entrapped his neck on the edge of the chest of a LaJolla Boat Bed.
The preassembled toy chests are designed in the shape of a ship or boat's "bow" and attached to the beds as a footboard. The LaJolla Boat Bed toy chest has a hardwood top and white wood base with a blue stripe. The Pirates Boat Bed toy chest has a hardwood top, wheel shape and brown wood base with decorative carvings.
The beds were wold at Costco and furniture retail stores nationwide and Costco.com from January 2006 through May 2008 for between $700 and $1,400.
If you have one of the bed's, you should stop using the bed and get a free repair kit with replacement lids supports.
