Kids' bed recall after Roseville toddler's death

For the second time in less than a year, a nationwide recall has been spurred by a Roseville family's tragedy.The Consumer Products Safety Commission on Thursday announced the voluntary recall of a child's bed manufactured by Bayside Furnishings and sold at Costco.The Commission said the lid of the toy chests integrated into the LaJolla Boat Bed and Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Bed can fall, causing injuries.That's what happened to a 22-month-old Roseville boy. The child, whose name was not available, was strangled last October after the hardwood top of the LaJolla Boat Bed chest fell on the back of his head, entrapping his neck on the edge of the chest. The CPSC said consumers should stop using the toy chests "immediately" and contact Bayside to receive a free repair kit, which includes replacement lid supports.The beds in question were sold at furniture stores nationwide as well as Costco.com January 2006 through May 2008. They retailed for $700 to $1,400, according to the CPSC. The recall affects an estimated 9,350 cribs.The recall is the second involving the death of a Roseville toddler in recent months.In September, more than 1 million faulty cribs manufactured by Graco were recalled after the death of 9-month-old Liam Johns.Liam died in April 2005 when his Graco "Aspen 3 in 1" crib's "drop rail" separated from the mattress inside the family's Citrus Heights apartment. Liam fell into the gap created and suffocated.For additional information on the Bayside recall, contact the company at (877) 494-2536, or visit the firm's Web site at www.baysidefurnishings.com to register online for the free repair kit.According to the CPSC, the Placer County Child Death Review Team alerted the Commission to this danger.On its safety blog, Consumer Reports said it strongly cautions parents against toy chests with hinged lids. "Not only can children become entrapped by the lid but they can suffocate in the chest if they crawl inside and become trapped," Consumer Reports said on the blog, at blog.consumerreports.org. "If you have a toy chest, or any chest, with a freely falling hinged lid, the safest thing you can do is remove the lid entirely."
