The Coleman Company has issued a recall for approximately 228,760 Converta camping cots and Converta camping suspension stretchers due to laceration and amputation hazards associated with the backrest fold mechanism. The recall, which also affects about 438 units in Canada, is in response to reports of the seatback adjustment mechanism pinching consumers' fingers, resulting in two cases of fractured fingers. These products, imported by Newell Brands, were sold at Walmart, other stores, and online at Amazon.com from January 2011 through March 2025 for between $60 and $80 (CPSC Recall Notice, No. 25-353, June 26, 2025).
The recalled products include Coleman Converta camping cots with model numbers 2000003077 and 2000020282, and Converta camping suspension stretchers with model number 2000020290. The cots and stretchers feature tan or white fabric with the Coleman logo and black steel frames with adjustable seatbacks and leg positions. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the affected products and contact The Coleman Company for a free repair kit, which includes installation instructions.
