Washington, D.C. Consumers were warned Friday, Aug. 13, 2026, to stop using Merax branded Murphy beds after a federal safety recall that says the bed frame can unexpectedly fall during assembly or disassembly, posing deadly impact, crush and laceration hazards. According to the CPSC, the recall affects Merax Murphy beds sold under the Merax name and distributed by GigaCloud Technology USA. The agency says the bed’s wall mounted frame can separate or collapse while being moved, potentially falling onto people nearby. The CPSC’s notice says the danger is most acute during assembly or disassembly when the frame is not fully secured, putting anyone handling the bed or standing nearby at risk of blunt force trauma and serious cuts. The agency cautioned caregivers and households with children to be especially careful around the product. GigaCloud Technology USA is the recalling firm. The firm is advising consumers to stop using the affected Murphy beds immediately and to contact the manufacturer for a refund or a replacement. The recall notice did not list store by store retail information in the announcement; owners should check the official recall page for model details and next steps. Consumers seeking more information should have their product details available when contacting the company, and they can reach out to GigaCloud through the channels listed on the CPSC recall page. The agency’s guidance emphasizes not attempting to move or reassemble the bed without professional help.
