A nationwide recall has been issued for Upholstered Low Profile Standard and Platform Beds, affecting over 527,000 units in the United States and an additional 55,857 in Canada. This recall, initiated on January 18, 2024, has sent shockwaves through the home design industry due to the alarming hazards posed by these seemingly innocuous pieces of furniture. The recall comes in response to a series of incidents where these beds have broken, sagged, or collapsed during use, leading to numerous falls and injuries among consumers.
The Upholstered Low Profile Beds, manufactured and sold by Home Design Inc. in the USA, have been marketed under various part numbers: 80002 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Standard Bed, 80032 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Standard Bed, 80055 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Standard Bed, 80071 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Platform Bed, and 80053 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Platform Bed. These beds come in a range of colors and sizes, from twin to king, with some models requiring a box spring, while others have platform supports that do not necessitate a box spring.
The gravity of the issue lies in the fact that these recalled beds have been associated with 128 reports of breakage, sagging, or collapse during use, resulting in a staggering 36 reported injuries. It is a stark reminder that even the most commonplace household items can pose significant risks if they are not manufactured to meet rigorous safety standards.
Filing Your Injury or Wrongful Death Claim
If you or a loved one has been harmed or injured by one of these defective beds, you may have legal recourse to seek compensation for your suffering. Filing a lawsuit against Home Design Inc. is a viable option for victims seeking justice and financial recovery. However, pursuing a product liability lawsuit can be a complex and daunting process, which is why it is crucial to have an experienced attorney by your side at every step.
The process of filing a product liability lawsuit begins with gathering evidence to establish a strong case against the manufacturer. Your attorney will work to collect documents, photographs, and any other relevant information to demonstrate that the defective beds were the direct cause of your injuries.

Once the evidence is gathered, your attorney will file a lawsuit against Home Design Inc., outlining the details of your case and the damages you are seeking. These damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Your attorney will fight vigorously on your behalf to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Throughout the legal process, your attorney will negotiate with the opposing party, attend court hearings, and represent your interests during settlement discussions or trial proceedings. Having a skilled attorney is crucial, as they will navigate the complexities of the legal system and advocate for your rights as a victim.
In the event of a successful lawsuit, victims may be eligible to recover substantial damages. These damages aim to compensate victims for the physical, emotional, and financial damages caused by the defective beds. While the exact amount of damages can vary from case to case, the goal is to provide adequate compensation to help victims rebuild their lives and cover their losses.
