From Times Wire Services

Bayside Furnishings of San Diego is recalling 9,350 La Jolla Boat Beds and Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Beds after a 22-month-old boy died when the lid of a toy chest on one of the beds fell on his head.

The beds were sold at Costco Wholesale Corp. and other stores nationwide from January 2006 to May 2008 for $700 to $1,400. The two styles of beds have attached toy chests with a hardwood top, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

Parents and caregivers are advised to immediately stop children from using the toy chests. The commission says children can still sleep in the beds but must not use the toy chests. Consumers can contact Bayside for instructions on receiving a free repair kit with replacement lid supports by calling (877) 494-2536 or going to www.baysidefurnishings.com.
