The included #8 screws just weren’t up to the job.

Typical of the MSM to give so little information.

In the one case of death, I think there were ‘underlying conditions’

How right you are…. Wall attachment was completely lacking either by installer error or manufacturer instruction foul up.
The picture at the OP link did not show the foot of the bed for me. I assume there were feet to the floor to support the end of the bed. This right?
If foot of bed is not supported then that would a heck of a lever force imparted to the wall attachments. It would take some number of lag bolts to wall studs to support the bed under its rated load. It's rated loading for the wall attachment should include kids and errr adults doing trampoline things on the bed plus a ~~>hefty<~~ safety factor.
A completely wild ass guess is that this nice piece of furniture had interior designer type input and forgot the mechanical engineer. Cheap skates maybe!

Wow.....a bed is recalled after ONE death (as it should be, RIP dear lady who was killed), yet these $hots are still being pushed/rolled out, after 26,000 ++ deaths and 2M cases of adverse effects...

Just an amazing contrast.

They probably weren’t properly fastened to wall studs either.

The included #8 screws just weren’t up to the job. Especially when you screw them into sheetrock anchors.

I, while living in a small apartment (1970-1973) slept on a Murphy Bed for several year. No problems.

i was literally going to but one of these beds from their website. My guess is they didn’t anchor the unit to the wall properly, and they are paying the price for the increasing dumbassery of the average person.
