CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — Over 7,400 units of ‘Zipadee Kids Convertible House Bed Frame’ and ‘Montessori Floor Beds’ are being recalled from across the country. Recalled by Zipadee Kids, of Circleville, the affected floor beds pose entrapment and strangulation hazards and could pose life-threatening risks to small children sleeping in them.
Announced on Thursday, the nationwide recall only applies to the ‘Zipadee Convertible House Bed Frames‘ and‘Montessori Floor Beds’ sold across the United States between February 26, 2018 and October 22, 2021. The establishment fears that the recalled floor beds can pose risks because of the unfavorable spacing of the spindles used in the bed.
The potentially risky design of the floor bed is wide enough to enable a child to slip their torso through the rail openings but not wide enough to enable their heads to pass. In such circumstances, the child may be at risk of getting entrapped between the rails and could also be at risk of strangulation, thus posing a threat to their life.
Zipadee has informed the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) of two such reports where a 21-month-old child and a 4-year-old were hurt because of the problem. Though there was no risk to either of their lives, the 4-year-old sustained minor injuries and the 21-month-old child was unscathed.
It is to be noted that Zipadee Kids of Circleville has filed for dissolution and has informed the CPSC that it won’t be able to offer any reimbursements or replacements as a remedy to the problem.
