Glideaway Recalls Sleepharmony Youth Beds Because of High Lead Levels

Glideaway has issued a recall of Sleepharmony Metal Youth Beds in pink because the surface paint contains lead in excess of federal standards.  The bed is a twin size, made of metal, and has three pink heart-shaped designs on both the headboard and the footboard.  The recalled beds were manufactured between December 2011 and May 2013 and bear the model number #MB-YPT-R1; the manufacture date code can be found on a yellow label affixed to the inside of the metal side rail, and the model number can be found on the box and the instruction sheet.

Consumers are advised to stop using the product and contact Glideaway for instructions for exchanging the bed or receiving a full refund.  Glideaway can be contacted at 800-428-5222 or www.glideaway.com/recall.  The beds were sold at furniture and other retail stores nationwide from February 2012 to June 2013 for between $120 to $170.  The beds were manufactured in China.
