Murphy beds sold by several retailers including Amazon, Wayfair and Overstock are being recalled because they can become detached, posing serious dangers to consumers.
Four brands of Murphy beds -- a style of bed that stores vertically against the wall and can be pulled down to a normal bed position -- have been recalled as of Sept. 8 because they can “break or detach from the wall and fall onto those nearby, posing serious impact and crush hazards,” according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
