The recall, issued in concert with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, confirmed that a 79-year-old woman died in July 2018, after a Bestar wall bed fell on her, injuring her spine. The company has also fielded 60 additional reports of bruising and other injuries from customers struck when the beds detached from walls.

Affected models include the Nebula, PUR, Versatile, Edge, Cielo, Audrea, Lumina, Orion and Novello wall beds in both full and queen sizes.

The beds were sold online at Wayfair.com, Costco.com, Cymax.com and Amazon.com from June 2014 through March 2022 for between $1,650 and $2,200.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled wall beds and consult the communication they received from Bestar. Consumers who are uncertain whether their wall bed needs to be reinstalled are entitled to a free inspection, according to the recall notice.
