Quebec coroner urges Canada to recall Murphy beds without safeguards

The incident occurred on Jan. 12 during a family vacation from Massachusetts to the Village Vacances Valcartier water park resort in Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec.

A Quebec coroner is urging Canada to remove all Murphy beds lacking proper safeguards from the market and recommending that only those that comply with international safety standards be sold.

Donald Nicole made 11 recommendations in a coroner's report published Thursday that looked into the death of a five-year-old boy after a wall bed, also known as a Murphy bed, suddenly opened and came crashing down on him.
