Nearly 138,000 platform beds sold at major retailers including Amazon and Walmart are being recalled across the U.S. and Canada because they can collapse, posing fall and injury risks.

Utah-based importer CVB Inc. is recalling the Lucid-branded platform beds with upholstered square tufted headboards. According to Thursday notices from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, the beds can sag, break or collapse during use.

To date, there have been 245 incidents of this occurring in the U.S., resulting in 18 related injuries such as contusions and bruises, the CPSC said. An additional 11 reports of “bed failures” have been reported in Canada, with no further injuries.

According to Lucid, the recall covers a discontinued version of its platform beds, which the company says were manufactured between 2019 and 2021.

While manufacturing ended several years ago, the now-recalled beds continued to be sold at major retailers through April 2024, the CPSC said. In addition to Amazon, Walmart and Lucid’s website, consumers may have also purchased the beds at Bed Bath & Beyond, eBay, Home Depot, Macys, Target.com, Wayfair and other retailers.

About 137,000 of the recalled beds were sold in the U.S. and 890 in Canada, the CPSC said.

Identifying the Recalled Beds

The beds — which were made in Malaysia and come in twin, full, queen, king and cal-king sizes — can be identified with a white law label found on the back of the headboard. “Made For: CVB INC, 1525 W 2960 S, LOGAN, UT 84321” should be printed on it.

What to Do If You Have a Recalled Bed

People who have the recalled beds are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Lucid for a free replacement frame.

How to Get a Replacement

Consumers will have to write the word “recalled” on the bed’s support rails with a permanent marker and send photos to Lucid. More information about getting a replacement can be found on Lucid’s recall page.

The recall affects anyone who purchased a Lucid Platform Bed with an Upholstered Square Tufted Headboard that was manufactured between 2019 and 2021.

The following sizes were featured in the bed recall:

  • Twin
  • Full
  • Queen
  • King
  • Cal-king

In addition, the beds were sold in these colors with wooden support beams and support legs:

  • Beige
  • Black
  • Charcoal
  • Cobalt
  • Pearl

Where Were the Recalled Beds Sold?

With a standard retail price between $150 and $250, the beds were sold between September 2019 through April 2024 online and in-store at these retailers:

  • Amazon
  • Bed Bath & Beyond
  • Walmart
  • Target
  • Lucid's website

Lucid said that people who have the bed should stop using it immediately. The mattress and bedding company will be sending its customers a free replacement bed frame.

To obtain the replacement, customers should write in permanent marker “recalled” on the support rails of the bed and send a picture of the bed. Customers should also send a photo of the underside of the support rails or the law label to [email protected]. Once this is completed, eligible customers will receive the free replacement product.

Customers can also contact Lucid toll-free at 888-910-0235 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday, or on Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, by email at [email protected]. Consumers can also complete this online form here.

Don't Let Your Sweet Dreams Turn into Nightmares

The CPSC’s warning about the Lucid platform beds is a reminder to always check for recalls on any product you buy, especially furniture. Even if a product was purchased years ago, it’s still important to stay up-to-date on any potential safety issues.
