Zinus Bunk Beds Recall – Class Action Lawsuit

On November 12, 2020, Zinus issues a recall for their metal bunk beds. According to the recall, number 21-707, the welds that are supposed to secure the upper bunk bed can fail, causing the upper bunk bed to collapse. This represents a significant risk of fall and injury to consumers. The recall has affected approximately 26,000 units.

According to the recall, at least three models of the Zinus metal bunk beds have been recalled. The recall includes the following:

• The OPLBB model (black twin-over-twin bunk beds with bed posts that have a square cross section)
• The RPBB model (blue twin-over-full bunk beds with bed posts that have a circular cross section)
• The NTBB model (gray twin-over-twin bunk beds with bed posts that have a circular cross section)

All three of the affected bunk bed models have ladders built into both the head and foot of the bed. The model number can be found printed on a label located on the horizontal bar of the upper bunk guard rail.

The defective bunk beds were sold online via www.zinus.com, www.homedepot.com, www.overstock.com, www.wayfair.com, www.amazon.com, and www.walmart.com. The bunk beds were available from December 2016 through January 2020 for prices ranging from $90 to $240.

According to the recall, Zinus has received at least 13 reports of the bunk bed welds failing and coming apart; this includes at least 3 reports of more than one of the welds failing at the same time. A total of 3 reports (of the 13 reports) consisted of bumps and bruises associated with the consumer falling to the floor from the upper bunk bed after the welds failed.

The company is urging consumers to immediately stop using the bunk beds included in the recall and contact them for further information in receiving either a free repair kit or a full refund. Purchasers are being contacted directly.

Should you follow the recommendations made by Zinus? Should you agree to a free repair kit or to a full refund?

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Your Right to Sue Based on Product Liability

If you or a member of your family suffered harm associated with the recalled Zinus bunk beds, you should explore your legal options immediately as you might have grounds to sue. You can sue based on the concept of product liability. Based on product liability, all companies owe their consumers a duty of care – more specifically, a duty to ensure that their products are completely safe for their consumers to use. Companies are responsible for testing and inspecting their products thoroughly to be able to identify and address any hazards or dangerous conditions present in their products. If a company breaches the duty of care owed to consumers, they put their consumers at risk of injury. They can negligently release defective products and directly contribute to the harm that innocent consumers suffer.

If you or a member of your family suffered harm associated with a defective product, you could hold the negligent company accountable for the harm suffered. That is, you could sue the Zinus for the harm resulting from the bunk bed incident. If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the product liability experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.

Is there a Class Action Lawsuit?

File Your Claim Quickly – Understanding the Statute of Limitations

If you or a member of your family suffered harm associated with a defective product, such as a defective bunk bed, you might have grounds to sue based on the concept of product liability. However, you could unfortunately lose your right to sue if you fail to file your claim quickly. This is because all claims, including defective product claims, are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. How long do you have to file your claim against Zinus?

In California, product liability claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have a total of two years to pursue their claims. However, it is possible for exceptions to apply. If any exceptions apply (based on the details surrounding your claim), the applicable statute of limitations could be tolled or paused for some time. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to pursue your claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience. Our experts will ensure that you file your claim within the appropriate length of time.
