8 ON YOUR SIDE CONSUMER ALERT: More than a half-million beds sold at retailers like Walmart, Wayfair and Overstock.com are under recall because they can break during use.

The problem has resulted in dozens of injuries.

The recall impacts several different models and sizes of upholstered low profile standard and platform beds from Home Design, Inc. The furniture wholesaler says it has received 128 reports of these beds breaking, sagging or collapsing when used, including 36 unspecified injuries to date.

Both Home Design and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are urging consumers with the now-recalled beds to stop using them immediately — and contact the company for a free repair kit.

CBS News reports that consumers can determine if their bed is being recalled by checking the list of affected models and corresponding part number, which can be found on both the CPSC’s Thursday recall notice and on Home Design’s website.

The recall involves:

•  All Home Design Part number 80002 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Standard Beds, a gray, warm gray, or blue bed frame with standard supports requiring a box spring, available in twin, full, queen and king size.
• Part number 80032 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Standard Beds, a gray or beige bed frame with standard supports requiring a box spring, available in twin, full, queen and king size.
• Part number 80055 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Standard Beds, a silver gray, gray, or black bed frame with standard supports requiring a box spring, available in king size.
• Part number 80071 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Platform Beds, a gray, beige, or black bed frame with platform supports which does not require a box spring, available in twin, full, queen or king.
• Part number 80053 Tufted Upholstered Low Profile Platform Beds, a warm gray bed frame with platform supports which does not require a box spring. Part number 80053 does not have a center support leg halfway along the side rail.

To receive the free repair kit, consumers will need to email Home Design photos of the bed or proof of purchase as well as the headboard’s “law label.”
