RECALL: Wood Castle Furniture Bunk Beds Due to Entrapment Hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Wood Castle Furniture, has announced the voluntary recall of about 1,000 Riley Duo Bunk Beds because the openings between the guardrails on the bunk bed can exceed 3 ½ inches in width, which is too wide and does not meet safety standards.
