(WHTM) -- Over 120,000 bunk beds with support slats that could break have been recalled, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The commission says the wooden slats supporting the Walker Edison Furniture Twin Over Twin Bunk Beds can break while in use, potentially causing the occupant to fall.

There have been 14 incidents of the bunk bed slats breaking reported, including one with minor injuries, according to the CPSC.

The wooden bunk beds, which come in various colors and finishes with a ladder down the side, were sold online at walmart.com, amazon.com, overstock.com and wayfair.com between February 2010 through February 2022. They cost between $206 and $389.

The Brazil-made bunk beds have the model name printed on a label inside the bed rail or footboard.

Below is a list of all of the affected bunk beds, according to the CPSC:

Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled bunk beds and contact Walker Edison Furniture to receive a free repair kit, which includes 12 wooden slats and instructions. Walker Edison is also contacting known purchasers directly.
