WASHINGTON - WASHINGTON - About 9,350 youth beds were recalled Thursday because the toy chest that's attached to the bed can entrap children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says a 22-month-old boy in Roseville, Calif., was killed when the lid of the toy chest on his LaJolla Boat Bed fell on his head, entrapping and strangling him.
The recall involves two youth beds made by Bayside Furnishings of San Diego. The beds are the LaJolla Boat Bed and the Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Bed. They were sold at Costco and other stores nationwide from January 2006 to May 2008 for between $700 and $1,400.
Consumers can contact Bayside, a division of Whalen, for instructions on receiving a free repair kit with replacement lid supports.
