Product description
Model/Serial No: B111. The Fantasy Bus bunk bed was available for sale from February 2006.
Reasons the product is recalled
The mattress base panels is not fixed to the cross-rails they rest on and are therefore able to be dislodged. The opening in the guardrail at the rear of the bunk is too wide. The effective height of the safety guardrail is too low when the upper bunk is fitted with a mattress any deeper than 105mm. A gap of the dimension of the "portholes" could pose a serious risk of strangulation for children in circumstances where they may attempt to place their head through the gap and become caught.
