1,250 Murphy Beds Sold Through a Major Online Furniture Retailer Can Collapse While Someone Is Still Putting Them Together, Crushing Whoever Stands Underneath

About 1,250 Merax Murphy beds are being recalled after the wall-bed frame was found to fall onto people during assembly or disassembly, posing what the Consumer Product Safety Commission describes as “deadly impact, crush and laceration hazards.” The beds were sold by GigaCloud Technology USA through Amazon, Home Depot, Wayfair, Walmart, Target, Overstock, Temu, and other sites from May 2024 through February 2026, priced between $900 and $1,100, according to a report covering the recall.

Key Points

What’s Included

What Consumers Should Do

  1. Stop using the bed immediately and avoid assembling or disassembling it alone.
  2. Check your model number against the list above, regardless of which brand name is printed on the packaging.
  3. Contact GigaCloud Technology at 888-600-6376, by email at support@merax.com, or at www.merax.com/recall for the free remedy.
  4. If your bed hasn’t been assembled yet, you’ll receive a free repair kit with updated piston springs and revised assembly instructions.
  5. If your bed is already assembled, you’ll get inspection instructions, and if a problem is found, the company will send someone to correct the installation at no cost.

Murphy beds and other wall-mounted furniture carry an inherent tip-and-collapse risk if hardware fails or anchoring is skipped, which is why manufacturers generally recommend having a second person present for assembly — a precaution this recall’s two documented injuries suggest wasn’t always followed. Because the same underlying bed frame was distributed under four different brand names, shoppers who bought a similarly styled white Murphy bed from an online furniture marketplace in the past two years may not immediately recognize it as part of this recall just by looking at the listing they originally ordered from — checking the actual model number stamped on the unit itself is the only reliable way to confirm it.
