Issue
Failure to use a professional installer can lead to improper assembly and/or attachment to the wall structure and therefore may result in a sudden collapse of the wall bed. The beds can become detached from the wall and fall, posing a tip-over and entrapment hazard that can results in serious injury or death.
As of March 28, 2022, the company has received 15 reports of occurrences where the units have dislodged from the wall in Canada, and 8 reports of injuries. In the United States, the company has received 61 reports of occurrences where the units have dislodged from the wall with 60 reports of injuries and 1 death.
What you should do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wall beds and contact Bestar to determine whether they require a repair via reinstallation. 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 CAD $216 - $263 for Above Top Shelf wall beds or CAD $430 - $527 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. Consumers who are nonetheless unable to find someone within that range will be reimbursed for reasonable costs outside of it, provided they can provide documentation.
For more information, consumers can contact Bestar toll-free at 888-912-8458 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, email at bestarwb@esolutionsfurniture.com or online at https://www.bestar.ca/wall-bed-recall/ or at www.bestar.ca and click “WALL BED SAFETY RECALL” at top of page for more information.
