Samuel Lawrence Furniture has expanded a recall of its Bordeaux Collection beds to include full and twin sizes.

Last month, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, SLF voluntarily recalled about 18,400 king- and queen-size beds from the Bordeaux Collection in the United States and 1,250 in Canada, which are manufactured in Malaysia by Poh Huat Furniture Ltd.

The expanded recall involves around another 2,400 beds in the United States and 100 in Canada. The beds pose a hazard in that the hardware holding the headboard and footboard can loosen or detach. Samuel Lawrence Furniture has received more than 100 reports of headboards or footboards detaching, including one report of a Florida man who injured his foot when a footboard detached.

This recall includes Bordeaux Collection full- and twin-size sleigh beds with wooden headboards and footboards in a cherry finish. Each bed also has two matching wooden side rails. "Bordeaux" and a model number are printed on a white label on the back of the headboard and footboard. Model numbers for the recalled beds are 8070-242 and 8070-243 for the full-size and 8070-232 and 8070-233 for the twin-size.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled beds and contact Samuel Lawrence Furniture to obtain a free repair kit. Consumers can contact Samuel Lawrence Furniture toll-free at 888.572,9889 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (eastern time) Monday through Friday, or visit the company's Web site.
