Latest Merax Murphy Bed Recall and Lawsuit Developments
August 2026
- August 13, 2026 – CPSC and GigaCloud Technology USA announced a recall of about 1,250 Merax full- and twin-size Murphy beds because the frame can fall during assembly or disassembly, creating deadly impact, crush, and laceration hazards [1]
- August 13, 2026 – CPSC reported two incidents in which the Murphy beds fell during assembly while they were not anchored to the wall. Two consumers were injured, including one with bruising to the head, neck, and right shoulder and another who was struck in the head and suffered arm scrapes and bruises [1]
- August 13, 2026 – Consumers were instructed to stop using the recalled beds and contact GigaCloud Technology for a free repair kit or inspection. If an assembled bed is found to be incorrectly installed, the company will provide a professional installer at no cost [1]
What Is the Merax Murphy Bed Recall?
The recall involves wall-mounted Merax Murphy beds that fold vertically into a cabinet when they are not being used.
CPSC identifies three recalled model numbers: GX000392AAK, GX000391AAK, and GX000383AAK. All recalled beds were sold in white.
The beds were manufactured in Vietnam and imported by GigaCloud Technology (USA) Inc. of El Monte, California.
Which Merax Murphy Bed Models Are Recalled?
The recall applies to the following model and SKU combinations:
- GX000392AAK: WF530245, WF530246, WF530247, WF530248
- GX000391AAK: WF530240, WF530241, WF530242, WF530243
- GX000383AAK: WF324470, WF324471, WF324472
CPSC says the yellow SKU sticker is located on the inside frame of the Murphy bed. Consumers should use that SKU rather than relying solely on the brand name printed in an online listing.
Why Brand Name Alone May Not Identify the Recalled Bed
CPSC warns that the same products may have been sold by different marketplace sellers under names including Euroco, Harper & Bright Designs, Modern Luxe, Polibi, other brand names, or without a brand name.
That makes the SKU code especially important. A consumer may own a recalled GigaCloud-manufactured wall bed even if the product was not advertised to them under the Merax name.
Where Were the Recalled Murphy Beds Sold?
The recalled beds were sold online from May 2024 through February 2026 for approximately $900 to $1,100.
CPSC lists Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com, Wayfair.com, Walmart.com, Target.com, Overstock.com, Temu.com, and other websites among the sales channels.
Order confirmations, retailer account histories, credit-card records, shipping emails, and screenshots may help identify the specific bed purchased.
What Is the Hazard?
CPSC says the bed frame can fall during assembly or disassembly, exposing nearby consumers to impact, crush, and laceration hazards.
A wall bed contains a large moving frame that must ultimately be secured to a wall. During installation, the structure may be unstable before its anchoring and lift components are correctly installed.
The danger can therefore exist before the bed is fully assembled and ready for ordinary use.
How Did the Reported Merax Injuries Occur?
CPSC reports that both known incidents occurred during assembly when the Murphy beds had not yet been anchored to the wall.
One consumer sustained bruising to the head, neck, and right shoulder. Another consumer was struck in the head and suffered scrapes and bruising to the arms.
CPSC does not report a death involving the recalled Merax beds in the August 2026 notice.
Why Wall Anchoring Matters
Murphy beds combine a cabinet, mattress platform, lifting components, and a wall-mounting system. Until the cabinet and frame are properly secured, their weight can create a serious falling hazard.
Incorrect assembly can also affect how springs or pistons control the moving bed platform.
For this recall, CPSC specifically ties the reported incidents to beds that were not anchored to the wall during assembly.
What Is the Merax Recall Remedy?
Consumers should stop using the recalled Murphy beds and contact GigaCloud Technology for the free remedy.
Consumers who have not assembled the bed will receive unloaded piston springs, updated assembly instructions, and inspection instructions.
Consumers who have already assembled the bed will receive inspection instructions. If the inspection shows that the bed was assembled incorrectly, GigaCloud Technology will provide a professional installer to correct or complete the installation at no cost.
Why Should Consumers Avoid Repairing the Bed on Their Own?
The recall specifically addresses assembly conditions that can expose consumers to a falling wall-bed frame. Attempting to dismantle, reassemble, or modify a recalled bed without following the recall process could recreate the same hazard.
Consumers should use the instructions and repair process supplied by GigaCloud Technology rather than improvising an anchoring or piston-spring repair.
Have Other Murphy Beds Been Recalled for Similar Hazards?
Yes. CPSC has previously recalled other wall beds because of impact and crush hazards, showing that attachment and installation failures can have severe consequences.
In 2022, Bestar recalled about 129,000 wall beds after a 79-year-old woman died when a bed detached from the wall and injured her spine. Bestar also received 60 additional reports involving wall beds detaching and striking consumers [2]
Those incidents involved Bestar products and should not be attributed to Merax.
What Happened With the Cyme Tech Murphy Bed Recall?
CPSC also recalled about 8,200 Murphy beds manufactured by Cyme Tech in 2022 because the beds could break or detach from the wall and fall on consumers.
The recalled products were sold under Ivy Bronx, Orren Ellis, Stellar Home Furniture, and Wade Logan brand names [3]
The Cyme Tech recall provides general wall-bed safety context but does not establish anything about the design or liability of the recalled Merax products.
Have Assembly Hazards Led to Other Murphy Bed Recalls?
Yes. In December 2025, CPSC recalled about 250 FUFU&GAGA Murphy wall beds because the approximately 215-pound frame could fall during assembly or disassembly and cause impact, crush, or laceration injuries [4]
That recall involved a different manufacturer and product. It nevertheless demonstrates why the installation phase itself can present a serious wall-bed hazard.
What Injuries Can a Falling Murphy Bed Cause?
A falling wall-bed frame can strike the head, neck, shoulders, arms, torso, or legs and can trap a person beneath a heavy structural component.
Potential injuries may include bruising, cuts, fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, crush injuries, or other trauma depending on the force and circumstances of the event.
Any medical conclusions should be based on the individual consumer’s diagnosis and treatment records rather than injuries reported in unrelated recalls.
Who May Be Affected?
Potentially affected people include consumers who purchased or assembled one of the recalled model and SKU combinations.
Professional installers, household members, relatives, roommates, and bystanders may also be exposed if they are near the bed while it is being assembled, disassembled, inspected, or repaired.
Consumers should also check beds sold under alternate marketplace brand names because CPSC says the same recalled products may not always have been advertised as Merax.
Who May Be Liable?
Potentially responsible parties may include a manufacturer, importer, distributor, retailer, marketplace seller, component supplier, installer, or another party involved in placing or assembling the product.
Possible claims may involve defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings or instructions, negligence, breach of warranty, or other theories available under applicable law.
The recall does not automatically establish liability in an individual case. The bed model, assembly sequence, anchoring, product condition, instructions, injuries, and causation must be evaluated separately.
What Is the Current Merax Murphy Bed Lawsuit Status?
The public sources cited for this article document a federal consumer-product recall and two reported injury incidents involving Merax Murphy beds.
Those sources do not establish a Merax-specific court judgment, settlement, certified class action, or determination of civil liability.
An individual claim may still warrant review if a recalled wall bed fell or otherwise caused documented injuries or losses.
Do I Qualify?
- Did you purchase or assemble a recalled Merax Murphy bed with one of the listed model numbers or SKU codes?
- Did the bed frame fall, shift, collapse, or strike you or another person during assembly, disassembly, or installation?
- Did the incident cause emergency treatment, hospitalization, head or neck injury, bruising, lacerations, fractures, or other documented harm?
- Do you have the bed, SKU label, instructions, receipts, photographs, installer records, or medical documentation?
An individualized legal review can determine whether the recalled product, assembly circumstances, injuries, damages, available evidence, potential defendants, and filing deadlines support a claim.
What Evidence Should I Preserve?
Preserve photographs of the bed before repair, including the cabinet, wall anchors, piston or spring components, fasteners, damaged areas, and the yellow SKU sticker.
Save assembly instructions, online product listings, order confirmations, receipts, shipping emails, installer invoices, retailer communications, incident photographs, and videos.
Medical records, bills, diagnostic imaging, injury photographs, witness statements, property-damage records, and time-off-work documentation may also be relevant.
