More than 137,000 beds have been recalled by the CPSC as of September 19, 2024, amidst reports that they can break or collapse during use, causing injury. (1) The Lucid Platform Beds with tufted headboards in twin, full, queen, king, and Cal-king are part of the recall in the United States. Additionally, 890 of the beds were sold in Canada. The recall shares reports of 245 beds breaking, sagging or collapsing while in use. A total of 18 injuries, including contusions and bruises, have been reported in the United States and 11 injuries have been reported in Canada.
The platform beds were imported from Malaysia by CVB Inc. out of Utah. They were sold online at various stores, including Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, Home Depot, JCPenney, Menards, Macy’s, Overstock, QVC, Sears, Target, Belk, Wayfair, Lowes, and Walmart between September 2019 and April 2024. They were also available in stores nationwide, with the average cost of the bed ranging from $150 to $250.
Consumers are asked to stop using the beds and contact Lucid for a free replacement. To be eligible for the bed frame replacement, consumers need to write the word “recalled” with a permanent marker on the support rails of the bed, and send a photo of the bed and support rails to recall@lucidmattress.com. Consumers can also contact Lucid toll-free at 888-910-0235 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST Monday through Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST with any questions. An online recall form is also available to complete the replacement process.
Previously, Lucid and CVB Inc. faced a recall in 2019 for 86,000 of its Lucid Folding Mattress Sofas, which were a fire hazard after they failed to meet the mandatory flammability standards for mattresses. Lucid’s recall joins other bed and bed accessory-related devices, such as 1.5 million recalled bed rails in June, and Avocado’s recall of 55,000 mattress pads after concerns they were a fire hazard in August. Consumers should remain aware and follow recent recalls, especially involving bed-related products by following the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s timely reports, and Sleepopolis’ database on recalled sleep products. Then, you’ll be able to rest easy.
