Rockler is recalling about 2,300 I-Semble vertical and horizontal Murphy Bed hardware kits sold between January 2017 and October 2017. These kits, used to build fold-down beds in twin, full, and queen sizes, have wall brackets that do not provide enough support to keep the bed's wooden enclosure securely attached to the wall. This defect has caused five reports of the wooden wall enclosure falling, including one report of an adult suffering muscle strain and soreness. Rockler is providing a free replacement repair kit to fix the issue.
The mounting hardware can fail, causing the entire wooden wall enclosure to detach from the wall and fall onto consumers. This poses serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that could result in severe injury or death, particularly to children.
Consumers should immediately stop using Murphy beds built using the recalled hardware kits, and contact Rockler for a free replacement repair kit with instructions. The firm is contacting all known purchasers directly.
