Nearly 138,000 platform beds sold at major retailers, including Amazon and Walmart, are being recalled across the U.S. and Canada due to concerns that they can collapse, posing fall and injury risks.
Utah-based importer CVB Inc. is recalling the Lucid-branded platform beds, which feature upholstered square tufted headboards. According to recent notices from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, the beds have been reported to sag, break, or collapse during use, leading to a significant safety hazard.
As of now, there have been 245 reported incidents in the U.S. related to the beds’ instability, resulting in 18 injuries such as contusions and bruises, according to the CPSC. In Canada, there have been 11 additional reports of “bed failures,” although no injuries have been documented there.
Lucid has stated that the recall pertains to a discontinued version of its platform beds, which were manufactured from 2019 to 2021. Despite the end of manufacturing several years ago, these beds continued to be sold at major retailers through April 2024, the CPSC reported. Besides Amazon, Walmart, and Lucid’s website, the platform beds may have been purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond, eBay, Home Depot, Macy’s, Target.com, Wayfair, and various other retailers.
Approximately 137,000 of the recalled beds were sold in the U.S., with an additional 890 units sold in Canada, according to the CPSC.
These platform beds, made in Malaysia, come in twin, full, queen, king, and cal-king sizes. They can be identified by a white law label found on the back of the headboard, which reads “Made For: CVB INC, 1525 W 2960 S, LOGAN, UT 84321.”
Consumers who own these beds are advised to discontinue use immediately and contact Lucid for a free replacement frame. To facilitate the process, consumers will need to write the word “recalled” on the bed’s support rails with a permanent marker and send photos to Lucid. More information on how to obtain a replacement can be found on Lucid’s recall page.
