Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Beds Recalled After the Death of a 22-Month-Old Child


The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Bayside Furnishings, announced a voluntary recall of about 9,350 LaJolla Boat Bed and Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Beds because the lid supports on the toy chests fail to prevent the lid from closing too quickly, posing an entrapment and strangulation hazard to young children.

CPSC received one report of a death involving a 22-month-old boy of Roseville, California. He strangled when the lid of the toy chest fell on the back of his head and entrapped his neck on the edge of the chest of a LaJolla Boat Bed.

This recall involves two styles of Bayside youth beds: the LaJolla Boat Bed and the Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Bed. The preassembled toy chests are designed in the shape of a ship or boat’s “bow” and attached to the beds as a footboard. The LaJolla Boat Bed toy chest has a hardwood top and white wood base with a blue stripe. The Pirates Boat Bed toy chest has a hardwood top, wheel shape and brown wood base with decorative carvings.

Consumers should immediately stop children from using the recalled toy chests and contact the firm for instructions on receiving a free repair kit with replacement lid supports.

For additional information, contact Bayside at (877) 494-2536 anytime, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.baysidefurnishings.com to register online for the free repair kit.


‘Pregnant Man’, Thomas Beatie Welcomes Baby Girl


Thomas Beatie, who achieved fame as the “pregnant man,” has given birth, to a baby girl.

Thomas had transitioned to a man in many ways – he removed his breasts – but kept his female sex organs because he hoped to have a child.

“Growing up I really didn’t have a perception of myself [as a girl],” the bearded Beatie told Oprah Winfrey in April.

“When I was a teenager I had an attraction to women, but it wasn’t a sexual attraction,” he said. “I was much of a tomboy who liked to play with Legos and go fishing … probably up until puberty I didn’t see anything wrong at all.

Thomas decided to switch sexes when he was 24 - he had his breasts surgically altered - but opted to keep his reproductive organs.

“I wanted to have a child one day,” he said. “I didn’t know how, and I had no plan laid out. It was just a dream.

“I have a very stable male gender identity,” he said. “I see pregnancy as a process. It doesn’t define who I am.”

The media frenzy over this story has always confused me. A woman, who has facial hair and no breasts is pregnant - big deal.

Ju-Ju-Be Diaper Bags Were Made For The Organized Mom


As my son got older, I really believed that the bag I needed to tote his stuff would get smaller. It seems I was wrong because paranoid me always brings everything I can think of just in case…

The Ju-Ju-Be Wannabe mommy bag was made for me. It has a towel holder, ipod pocket, snack cooling pocket AND a sand trap.

Offered in 3 fresh patterns, this bag features removable backback staps, magazine pocket, book pocket and a huge space for toys or a change of clothes.
