Man sits in his home, and evil comes from heaven. Who would have thought that in the midst of a peaceful and sweet sleep, they would still encounter a flying disaster? Recently, Canada and the United States jointly recalled more than 180,000 Bestar brand wall beds, because this bed has now caused 1 death and 68 injuries.
Let's first take a look at what this dangerous bed looks like:

Different from the general bed, this kind of wall bed has a shelf at the head of the bed, which can store books and other items, saving a certain living space, which is also a popular style in recent years. However, it is this trendy design that poses a safety hazard for countless buyers.
According to Health Canada, the installation of the wall bed requires professionals to operate, otherwise, the incorrect assembly may cause the shelf to separate from the wall, resulting in a sudden collapse of the wall bed. "The bed frame may fall off the wall and fall off, creating a risk of the bed tipping over and the user being trapped, which can lead to serious injury or death." If you happened to be lying in bed and sleeping soundly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As of March 28, Bestar had received 15 reports of getting up and falling off walls in Canada, including a total of 8 injuries. In the United States, the company has received 61 reports of beds being detached from the wall, which in turn has injured 60 people and killed 1.
What's even more frightening is that before that, the company had sold about 53,000 sets of wall beds in Canada and about 129,000 sets in the United States, totaling more than 180,000 sets, from June 2014 to March 2022, spanning eight years. How many people still silently sleep in a bed with safety hazards without knowing it is enough to think about it.

The government department recommends that everyone must carefully check the make and model of the bed. If they are unfortunate enough to be recruited and believe that the bed frame is improperly placed, the consumer can contact Bestar to reinstall the bed frame. The company will send professional installers, or reimburse consumers for the cost of reinstallation, which varies from $216 to $527 depending on the model.

Not only household items, but also children's food has also been frequently thunderstruck recently. Easter is approaching, and many merchants have launched a variety of chocolate eggs. However, the most commonly eaten Kendat fun eggs for children also had an accident! Remember the following packaging, don't buy it in the near future!
On April 6, Health Canada noted that some Of the Kinda Chiqui fun egg products may be contaminated with Salmonella, and Ferrero Canada Ltd. is currently recalling several Kinderta brand chocolate products pictured above. The product in question is also available for sale in B.C.
Needless to say, everyone knows that the Kenda Fun Egg series products are the hot brands in Canada, and they are sold in Many large supermarkets such as Costco and Wal-Mart. The wide range of products involved in this accident caught many supermarkets off guard. Although most supermarkets have removed the above specifications of products, if you shop from the Internet, there are still many channels that can buy the above chocolate brands.

Parents should pay attention to the fact that the family has purchased the Jianda series of products can be carefully compared, do not let these contaminated products into the mouth of their children. The consequences of salmonella infection can be quite serious!
Food contaminated with Salmonella may look different from usual, but its pathogenicity is evident. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and immunocompromised people may even die after infection. Healthy people may experience symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea.
Fortunately, there are no relevant case reports at present, if someone has accidentally eaten the above chocolate and has symptoms of discomfort, please be sure to contact the doctor in time.
I didn't expect that even Kenda chocolate could not be eaten now... Food safety issues can not be careless, we are still cautious to wait and see for a period of time is better!
