All models have ladders built into both the head and foot of the bed. The model number is printed on a label on the horizontal bar of the guard rail of the upper bunk.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The welds that secure the upper bunk can come apart, causing the upper bunk to collapse, posing fall and injury hazards.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
The firm has received 13 reports of the bunk bed welds coming apart including three reports of multiple welds simultaneously failing. Of the 13 reports received, three resulted in bumps and bruises after the consumer fell to the floor from the upper bunk when the welds failed.
