Thank you so much for posting this!!! My daughters have one of these models and I have noticed the wood splitting in several places. I would have never known about the recall had I not seen it on FB! Thanks again!!!

Thank you for posting this, we have a set of these bunk beds and sure enough we are on the recall. Upon close inspection one of our rails is already cracked!

Can you ladies tell me where you found the label? We have these beds too, and I haven’t been able to locate it. Of course, I haven’t taken the mattresses off yet — but if I can find a simpler way…

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you posting recalls. I already loved your site…but this makes me feel you really care about your readers! Blessings!

The label was on the long side of the top bunk (hidden by the mattress) on our set. The model number on mine does not match the recall– but of course now I am worried.
