Walker Edison Furniture issued a voluntary recall of 121,000 twin-over-twin bunk beds because they can break.
"The wooden slats supporting the bunk beds can break while in-use, posing fall and impact hazards. Walker Edison has received reports of 14 incidents of the slats breaking, including one report of minor injuries," the company said in a statement.
The recalled bunk beds were sold online in various colors and styles at Walmart.com, HomeDepot.com, Amazon.com, Overstock.com, and Wayfair.com from February 2010 through February 2022 for between $206 and $389.
All models have a ladder down the side and include a label inside the bed rail or footboard that says Walker Edison Furniture, Made in Brazil, and the model name of the bed.

Walker Edison Furniture said that consumers who purchased the beds can file a ticket on their website for a free self-repair kit that includes an additional 12 wooden slats and new instructions on how to properly install them.
