The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Home Line Industries, a Philadelphia based furniture manufacturer/distributor, has issue a safety recall on a bunk bed popular in the rental purchase industry.

The recalled Home Line bunk beds include the following models and styles: S130 (black), S131 (white), S132 (red), and S133 (blue) have a single top mattress and a double width bottom mattress; S135 (black) and S136 (white) that have a single top and a single bottom mattress; and S116 (black) and S117 (white) that have a single top mattress and a bottom mattress that also converts into a couch. Some units are labeled with the "Home Line" name and the model numbers on the top front railing. Contact the firm to help determine if your bunk bed is part of this recall. 3,600 of these units were sold nationwide from September 2002 through May 2003.

Hazard
These bunk beds have openings between the guardrails and between guardrails and the end structures that are too large. A child's body could slide between the opening and become trapped by the child's head. This poses a strangulation hazard to children. No incidents have been reported.
