It’s common to see recalls happening in the industry. Sometimes, companies manage to deliver products that are fully functional without problems that need recalls. These have passed through internal tests or the so-called laboratory tests. However, in certain cases, some issues only appear during real-world usage. That’s exactly what happened with a bed in the US. It’s not common to see recalls coming in light of serious accidents, but they still happen. We already saw products causing serious injuries from faulty products or even contained products. However, it’s uncommon and serious to see recalls happening from incidents that lead to the death of a person. The Bestar wall beds recall is happening with this serious incident on top of the headlines.
A Bestar bed detached from a wall, fatally injuring one woman. On top of that, the company has received 60 other injury reports connected with its wall bed products. Bestar has announced a recall a few days ago in the United States and Canada. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC) has just posted an announcement for American consumers. Canadians can visit their local regulator’s website for the recall report.
