Glideaway Bed Carriage Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, Mo., is recalling about 1,850 Sleepharmony pink metal youth beds.
The surface paint on the pink-colored youth beds contains levels of lead that exceed the limits allowed by law.
This recall involves pink-colored twin-size, metal beds with three pink heart-shaped designs on both the footboard and headboard. The beds come with an assortment of stickers that can be applied to the heart shape design. The model number for the pink beds is #MB-YPT-R1 and can be found on the box and the instruction sheet that came with the bed. The manufacture date code is located on a yellow label affixed to the inside of the metal side rail and appears as MFG: year/month/day: “MFG: 2013/01/25.”
The recalled beds were manufactured between December 2011 and May 2013. Black and white models and mattresses are not part of the recall.
The beds, manufactured in China, were sold at furniture and other retail stores nationwide from February 2012, to June 2013, for between $120 to $170.
Consumers should immediately stop using the beds and contact the firm for instructions for exchanging the bed for a replacement or for a full refund.
