Composite verdict
Composite Safety Score: 92/100
One verdict blending 4 independently-sourced dimensions from two separate CPSC systems, each benchmarked against all 838 scored product categories by percentile rather than raw value, so no single huge-volume category can dominate the scale.
| Dimension | Value | National percentile | Weight applied | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Injury severity (hospitalization + fatality blend) | 16 | 90th | 35% | CPSC NEISS 20-year severity index |
| Annual ER injury volume | 697,169 | 100th | 30% | CPSC NEISS estimated annual ER-treated injuries |
| 5-year injury trend | +8% | 76th | 15% | CPSC NEISS 5-year % change in ER-treated injuries |
| Consumer incident reports | 239 | 95th | 20% | CPSC SaferProducts.gov public incident report count |
Methodology: each dimension is ranked against the full population's p10/p25/p50/p75/p90 breakpoints and interpolated to a 0-100 percentile; the composite is the weighted average of available percentiles. See methodology for the full benchmark table.

Body-part shares from the same CPSC NEISS injury_types extract for product code 4076. Segments sum to 13.9M - a body-map mix, not a danger score or ER-volume rank.

How this 55/100 score is built
The score is computed from four CPSC-derived factors for beds or bedframes, other or not specified - no opinion, no editorializing:
- Injury volume 697,169 ER visits/yr Very high volume
- Severity (hospitalization rate) 15.3% Very high admission rate
- Fatality rate 0.10% Above-typical fatality rate
- 5-year trend+8%
Band labels compare this category against the corpus of 838 scored CPSC product categories, see the full methodology for the exact weighting of each factor.
What the CPSC Data Shows
Across the 20-year NEISS window from 2005 to 2024, injury counts for beds or bedframes, other or not specified are roughly flat over the last five years, with the busiest year on record being 2024 (999,298 estimated ER visits) and the quietest 2005 (469,162 estimated visits). The single most common ER diagnosis is internal injury to the head, accounting for approximately 2.3M visits across the 20-year NEISS window, followed by laceration to the face (857,059 cases). The 75+ age group absorbs the largest share of injuries, about 4.1M cases over the NEISS window, and females appear slightly more often than the opposite sex in that cohort. Severity outcomes from the NEISS disposition field show that 15.3% of ER visits involving this product end in hospital admission or transfer, and a small fraction (0.10%) result in fatality.
Beyond the hospital-sampled NEISS projections, this page also aggregates 239 consumer incident reports filed directly on SaferProducts.gov, plus 20 anonymized ER narratives - together forming a layered picture of how beds or bedframes, other or not specified fail in real households. Every figure on this page comes from CPSC-published data: NEISS projects national estimates from a probability sample of about 100 U.S. hospital emergency departments, while SaferProducts.gov collects voluntary reports from consumers, manufacturers, and clinicians. The danger score, trend indicators, and demographic breakdowns update automatically when CPSC releases a new yearly NEISS file, which is why this page is dated 2024-12-31.

Consumer Incident Reports
Reports filed by consumers on SaferProducts.gov.
I purchased from the Regency Furniture Store in Falls Church Virgina the ASH B697-31 King Bed Room Set for $3,152.99. The furniture arrived on June 14, 2019, I noticed an odor and after a week the odor stayed, it smell like lacquer. I paid for a warranty, so I contacted the store. It took them two weeks to send someone to my home. The guy from the Warranty service for Regency Furniture stated it smelled like lacquer to him. I called Regency furniture several times and asked that they replace for furniture because my husband and I were not able to sleep in the room, they refused. Finally I told them I was going to report them to CPSC, and the I splke with [REDACTED] the manager who did not want to replace and finally he did replace the bedroom set. His assistant [REDACTED] kept giving me the run around when I called. It was one month before Regency Furniture replaced the bedroom set. The odor was so strong that it made my husband and I cough and feel like we were choking. The phone number for Regency Furniture is 301-782-3800. They refused to tell me where the furniture was made.
The bed is a select comfort brand split king with flex fit foundation purchased in Sept. 2010. The two mattresses move apart, creating an unsafe space between the mattresses in which a small child or pet could become trapped. My arm has repeatedly been caught in the space during the night causing it to lose circulation and resulting in pain.i have had this issue since purchase. I purchased the bed in Louisville, KY.m
I purchased a Zinus bunked from Amazon for my two young children earlier this year. Within a few months the bed began to come apart where it is welded together. One night at approximately 2 am, the top bunk collapsed while my 6 year old son slept on top. He luckily, was not severely injured. My 8 year old son had just gotten off the bottom bunk to go to the restroom, what would have happened if he were still under the bed, when it gave way? That is scary! I contacted the company, they have no been helpful at all. They claim there is a one year warranty on the bed, I however have not been able to receive such information. This product is unsafe for children. After researching this bed some more, I discovered there are many stories just like this, of the bed collapsing with a child on it asleep. There are reviews on Amazon, showing this has happened to other people. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y2GVW5J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TglvFbXE1M4BA
So I tried calling yesterday to ask for advice on how to make my sons bed more stable but I wasnt able to get a hold of anybody. Im thinking the call centers are closed due to the pandemic or maybe too busy? Who knows but the issue was that the headboard to his bed was loose where it meets the rails. I just placed it as close to the wall as possible last night but as he was getting up this morning it finally gave up and the rails came off the headboard. Thankfully nothing happened and he is fine we kind of just laughed about it but it couldve caused some injuries so I thought of calling again today but same thing I cant get a hold of anybody. I [REDACTED] to see if anybody else had the same issue and how to get it fixed and thats when I saw that its recalled. Will you help with this please? We didnt even have it a whole year.
Front bed rail on daybed broke completely in half while my eleven year old son was sitting down on the side of the bed. Side panel also collapsed inward breaking the wood piece that connected it "study wall".
The wooden slat from a KURA bed from IKEA have come unglued. This has resulted in making the bed unsafe for a child to sleep in as there is a potential that additional slats could come unglued causing the bed to crash to the floor.
Bought an adjustable bed frame here that CAUGHT ON FIRE ON ITS OWN. I bought it 8/25/19, delivered 8/28/19. Caught on fire the evening of 9/2/19. [REDACTED] response was "There is nothing that could catch on fire on that corner of the bed." By the way, there is, that's where the USB ports are... I wasn't using the USB ports though. I am still trying to get the adjustable base replaced and hopefully, [REDACTED] will make a note to the manufacturer or warn their clients. I spoke to the Sales Manager, [REDACTED], (or he used to be when I bought the adjustable bed frame and spent over 4000 grand at the store in downtown, Los Angeles) and he said it could have been the wiring in my house (!!!!!). The apartment is new... it's not old wiring. Anyway... THERE IS NO REASON WHY AN ADJUSTABLE BED SHOULD CATCH ON FIRE. I WAS TERRIFIED TO LIE BACK DOWN ON IT. I am still waiting to hear from the [REDACTED] customer service department and the bed frame's manufacturer "HHC." They should warn customers that this could happen ("hey, the bed frame could catch on fire while you're asleep") or they could have a really significant lawsuit on their hands if someone were to get hurt. The one good point the Sales Manager had was that I should have called the fire department... I was just in shock and immediately wrote [REDACTED] to either refund or replace the bed. And yes, there is already a complaint with the BBB. The bed frame is this: Head-Foot Model-Good Queen Adjustable Base - ITEM# - M9X732. [REDACTED] SITE. BUYERS BEWARE. YOUR HEAD COULD CATCH ON FIRE.
I became concerned about the quality of discount bed frames purchased on Amazon.com for young children. I performed a lead test of the surface paint coatings and weld joints. The test swabs darkened after contact with welds inside the joints of the bed. Surface coatings seemed unaffected and safe from lead.
