Bed Steps Recalled Because Of Fall Hazard. Domestications, of Weehawken, New Jersey just issued a recall for about 780 of its Domestications Bed Steps, which were manufactured in China and imported by Hanover Direct Inc., of Weehawken, New Jersey, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced.

The Domestications Bed Steps were recalled because the bed steps can break during use, posing a fall hazard to consumers. To date, Domestications received 14 reports of the bed steps breaking or cracking during use. Four of those reports involve injuries from falls.

The recalled Domestications wooden bed steps involved are style numbers 17593A and 17878A; have two steps; and are 16 inches high, by 24 inches wide, and 18 inches deep. The recalled Domestications Bed Steps were sold in white, cherry, and oak on the Domestications Web site and catalog nationwide. Style 17593A sold from June 2008 through July 2008 for about $50 and style 17878A sold from October 2008 through November 2008 for about $60.

Domestications Can Be Reached Toll-Free

The CPSC is advising consumers to immediately stop using the recalled Domestications Bed Steps and return it to Domestications to receive a refund. The company has directly contacted all known consumers who purchased the bed steps. For additional information, Domestications can be reached toll-free at 1-800-969-4094 between 10:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

In recent years, imports from China have been at the center of safety worries in the United States and other countries. For instance, there was a heparin contamination with a counterfeit ingredient that was implicated in dozens of deaths in the U.S., and hundreds of serious reactions both here and abroad. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also issued recalls of several foods imported from China that may have been tainted with the industrial chemical melamine. Melamine tainted dairy products hospitalized thousands of children in that country.

We have also long been reporting that despite federal lead standards and that many consider lead poisoning to be one of the most important chronic environmental illnesses affecting children today, toys—many imported from China—continue to be made with elements that exceed federal standards and that could pose serious, sometimes fatal, health concerns.

I am very happy with the way Parker and Waichman is proceeding with my lawsuit. They clearly guided me through the process and answered all of my questions. One of the the things that I like the most about their administration is that they let you know right from the getgo, that before they making a decision, they need to study all possibilities of how to win the case, and that gave me the confidence assuring me that I made the right choice to hire Parker and Waichman. They have assigned Josephine Burgess to my case and I am impressed of how quickly she answer all my questions as well as helping me to promptly expedite my case, it is very ez to go through it with your help. Thank you Ms. Burgess because of your professionalism I understand that Parker and Waichman have an excellent team.

It has been an amazingly gratifying and enjoyable experience working with PW, and making it that way is my paralegal contact ,Tina. She answers all my questions with patience, knowledge and understanding. Tina returns calls quickly and explains situations and progress clearly and all her answers are with the kind of details I request. Importantly, Tina always contacts me quickly with any status change or requirement for additional information. My case is still in progress and I am comforted to know my interaction with Tina will continue to be enjoyable, informative and interesting.
