On 8.12.22 I checked into Townplace Suites by Marriott and received a room with a sleeper sofa manufactured by Edgecombe Furniture. My four-year-old hit his head on the side of the sleeper sofa and sliced his ear lobe open. At the emergency room, he had to have 3 stitches to close the wound.

You used this futon to sleep on and use as a couch. When someone went to sit on it one day the bar in front fell on my foot. The reason I believe this happened is because there was no extra support in the middle. Let's call a T-BAR. On all the other futons out there they this.

Caller states that she purchased a futon from retailer named on January 27th, 2012 and that she contacted the retailer after putting the legs on and setting it up because it appeared to tip easily and that she believed it was due to the legs being too far inward from the corners to have complete balance. The legs are 14 1/2 inches inward from the corner with nothing else to stabilize the unit. Retailer stated that they were entering this information to the computer and provided her with case# [REDACTED]. In April 8th, 2013 the caller was sitting at the end of the futon when for no apparent reason it flipped over causing the caller to hit her right shin bone. She states that she cleaned her shin where there was a three inch cut then bandaged it. She did not require medical attention. She contacted the retailer/distributor again April 8th, 2013, informed them of her injury and requested that she be able to return the futon and obtain a refund. She was advised that they were taking the information and would contact her shortly, they still have not contacted her again. She is reporting this futon because a child or an elderly person could be injured seriously. She would like to see this futon recalled for reinvention of balance.

I bought a futon at walmart.com on May 4th. It was suppose to be SOME assembly required but when I got it I had to put the WHOLE thing together. I finally finished putting it together on May 8th. The day after we got it. As soon as I sat down I got scratched. I felt around underneath the cushion and I found that the bar going across the frame was scratching me. It was not covered in anything to protect it or me from being a piece of metal. I called customer service, I had called them numerous times before because their manual is not exactly clear on whats what. So I spent HOURS on the phone trying to figure things out and apparently customer service has NO idea what the futon looks like put together because when I explained how it was sitting they said "well just send us a picture so we can see what you are talking about" I sent them 10 pictures and they kept saying " I dont know" I made sure it was tight and hope it would keep close to the bar it was attached to. Well I got scratched again, so I realized as long as I tried to sit down and keep my legs bent I would get scratched . I stopped sitting on it. Then after a day I find that the bar attached to the arm that the frame sat on was coming away from one arm. I looked at the others and I noticed they were all attached with no problem. So I called the company. Their main headquarters is in Canada but they DO have a corporate office in the UNITED STATES so I called. I got the run around several times and they kept trying to send me to customer service so I decided to do some research on the web and found their executive team. I called and spelled out each person and finally got one guy to call me back but he just said he would have someone call me back. I then dialed the number for the CEO. I talked to [REDACTED] the CEO and told him what was going on. He did not want to hear it, as a matter of fact he said he took NO RESPONSIBILITY for what HIS product did . So then I sent him pictures. HE said "Ill send the

We were moving the futon out of our living room. While they were carrying it, one of the drawers fell off, tearing off the support/slide rail for the drawer, which spilled several small, silver-colored balls (ball bearings?) on the floor, which would be very easy for a child or pet to swallow.

We bought a Fulton bed from an area furniture place. My brother went their first and picked out the futon for my elderly mother. The furniture place delivered the Futon. I came in from work, and walked around the furniture place. I asked the manager many important questions regarding the safety and sturdiness of the Futon. I told him that my mother is elderly, and a disabled sister with cerebral palsy lives there also. He stated that it is 100% sturdy and safe. We spent over an 1/2 hour with questions I was giving him, and lies he was returning back to me. I believed him. I paid for his workers to set it up. My mother wanted to try out the futon. I opened the Futon to a bed. My mother sat down on the Futon bed and the Futon flipped over almost on top of my mother. She fell hard to the ground, thank God I was there, and she only suffered small bruises. She's 85 years old. The Futon is like a seesaw. I called the store and spoke to the same Manager. he stated to me that Futons, you have to lay in the middle of the Futon. You cannot lay at the end. I asked him, what if a person rolls over in their sleep. He stated again you have to lay in the middle. He also told me to call the warehouse for a refund. I called the warehouse. And a woman answered. I explained what happened. She told me the same. You must lay in the middle of the futon, all futons are like that, you cannot lay on either end. I told her, that I have bought futons in the past, and never had to worry about that, and none of the futons I bought in the past flipped over if a person is sitting on it when it is open as a bed. I have never heard of any bed that you must sleep in the middle. The store person lied to me and my family. He stated it is extremely safe and sturdy. The futon they sell are like seesaws. It is very dangerous, and someone will get killed from it. And we don't know if anyone has.
