138K Platform Beds Recalled Over Collapse Risks

Nearly 138,000 platform beds sold by major retailers like Amazon and Walmart are being recalled in the US and Canada due to collapse risks. Utah-based CVB Inc. is recalling Lucid-branded beds with square tufted headboards due to sagging and breaking hazards. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports 245 incidents and 18 injuries, while Canada had 11 reports without injuries.

The recall targets a discontinued line of Lucid beds made between 2019 and 2021, though sales continued through April 2024. These beds were available on Amazon, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, eBay, Home Depot, Macys, Target, Wayfair, and Lucid's website. Identification of the bed can be confirmed with a label at the back of the headboard: "Made For: CVB INC, 1525 W 2960 S, LOGAN, UT 84321."

Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled beds immediately and contact Lucid for a free replacement frame. To ensure a replacement, consumers need to mark the word "recalled" on the bed's support rails and send photos to Lucid. More details are available on Lucid's recall page.
