Bestar Wall Bed Recall Overview:

• Who: Bestar is recalling more than 180,000 wall beds due to serious impact and crushing hazards.
• Why: The recall is being issued after a 79-year-old woman died after a Bestar wall bed fell on her, injuring her spine.
• Where: The recall is effective in the United States and Canada.

More than 180,000 wall beds made by Bestar are being recalled across the United States and Canada after one woman died and 60 others were injured by the beds.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Bestar, of Canada, announced on Apr. 7 that about 129,000 wall beds in the United States and 53,000 in Canada were being recalled due to serious impact and crushing hazards.

In July 2018, a 79-year-old woman died after a Bestar wall bed fell on her, injuring her spine, the recall states.  

Bestar has received reports of 60 additional incidents resulting in bruising and other injuries from the wall beds detaching and hitting people.

“The wall beds can detach from the wall and fall onto those nearby, posing serious impact and crush hazards,” the recall states.

The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits.

The recall involves the Nebula, PUR, Versatile, Edge, Cielo, Audrea, Lumina, Orion and Novello Full and Queen Wall Beds.  

The beds were sold online at Wayfair.com, Costco.com, Cymax.com and Amazon.com from June 2014 through March 2022 for between $1,650 and $2,200. 

Bestar Bed Owners Should Immediately Stop Using Products

The firm is contacting all known purchasers directly, the recall notice said.

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wall beds and consult the communication they received from Bestar,” the recall says. “Consumers who are uncertain whether their wall bed needs to be reinstalled are entitled to a free inspection.” 

If the bed requires reinstallation, consumers are advised to use a professional installer. 

Bestar will reimburse consumers for the reinstallation cost and expects that cost to range from $170 – $207 for Above Top Shelf wall beds or $338 – $414 for Below Top Shelf wall beds. 

Consumers who are unable to find a quote within that range should contact Bestar to receive assistance in finding an installer, the recall states. 

Bed-related products are sometimes at the center of lawsuits. In 2020, a class action lawsuit was filed against mattress company Zinus with plaintiffs claiming the mattress can open and release hazardous glass fibers.
