Columbus-based Big Lots yesterday issued the voluntary recall of the metal futon bunk beds, which can entrap a child when the futon and its metal frame are lowered to a flat position.
A boy in Burlington, Iowa, boy died when his head and neck became caught and the weight of the futon's metal frame prevented him from breathing.
The recalled metal futon bunk beds were sold exclusively by Big Lots stores nationwide from January 2009 through April 2010 for about $200.
