About 7,700 Madeline bed canopies have recalled due to impact hazards.

Recall Reason

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with Pottery Barn Kids, a division of Williams-Sonoma Inc., of San Francisco, California, have recalled about 7,930 (7,700 in the US and 230 in Canada) bed canopies. The connections of the posts to the top rails of the canopy can come apart, allowing components of the canopy to fall and posing an impact hazard to consumers.

The firm is aware of 33 reports of components of the canopy falling, including one report of a cut that required stitches and nine other reports of minor cuts, bruises, and/or bumps.

The canopy is part of the Madeline Bedroom Collection. It is made of wood and consists of four posts that connect to the headboard and footboard of the bed and four rails that connect to the top portion of each post. It is available for twin-, full- and queen-sized Madeline Beds and comes in white, antique white, blade green, Sun Valley blade green, Sun Valley light green, and Sun Valley espresso. Pottery Barn Kids previously sold the canopy separately as an option for the Madeline Bed.

The beds sold at Pottery Barn Kids stores nationwide, online at potterybarnkids.com, and through Pottery Barn Kids catalogs from December 2003 until August 2011. When sold separately, the canopy sold for $150 to $300.
