Furniture company Dorel Industries has recalled wall-mounted beds due to the risk people could be crushed, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The regulator said consumer should immediately stop using Dorel Home Furnishing's wall beds and contact the company for a professional inspection and, if necessary, reinstallation. About 69,300 units have been sold and all known purchasers are being contracted directly, it said.

The beds can detach from the wall and fall on people nearby. The regulator said it has received 22 reports of the beds falling, resulting in 10 injuries including concussions, contusions, cuts and bruises.
