The 22-page lawsuit was filed after the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of Lucid platform beds with upholstered square tufted headboards, sold in twin, full, queen, king and California king sizes. According to the CPSC’s September 19 announcement, the products were recalled because the frames can sag, break or collapse during use, posing fall and injury hazards to consumers.

The class action suit says that as of the recall announcement, defendant CVB, Inc.—which does business as Lucid—had received 245 reports of the platform beds sagging, breaking or collapsing, causing 18 injuries.

Per the case, the recalled beds were sold in multiple colors and have wooden support beams, wooden support legs and a white federal law label located on the back of the headboard that reads, “Made For: CVB INC, 1525 W 2960 S, LOGAN, UT 84321.” The products were sold in-store or online by major retailers such as Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, Belk, Home Depot, Target, Macy’s, Wayfair and Walmart between September 2019 and April 2024, the complaint shares.

The filing contends that Lucid misrepresented the safety of the platform beds, which the case alleges are “entirely worthless” because they “cannot be used without risk of serious injury.”

In addition, the Lucid lawsuit argues the recall is insufficient because it does not refund consumers. Instead, the suit says, the company has offered a replacement bed frame, which a customer can obtain only after disassembling their own bed, writing “recalled” on the support rails, sending photographs of the product to Lucid’s email address, and waiting for the defendant to approve the request and issue a new frame.

Moreover, the recall notice fails to explain how a replacement bed frame will be safer than the original product, the case asserts.

“Consumers understandably seek safe products when it comes to large items like furniture, especially products in which consumers plan to sleep; the inherent risk of danger associated with this product and the supposed ‘remedy’ of disassembling the bed and reassembling the bed with another frame, does not make aggrieved or damaged consumer [sic] whole,” the complaint states.

The New York plaintiff claims that she, like other reasonable consumers, would not have purchased the bed frame had she known it could be a safety hazard.

The lawsuit looks to represent all United States residents who, during the applicable statute of limitations period, purchased a recalled platform bed for personal use and not for resale.
