A number of bunk beds have been recalled over fears they may collapse resulting in a serious injury or death.

The ACCC issued the recall over seven models from Melbourne-based retailer Fitting Furniture on Tuesday.

There are concerns the plastic brackets holding the bunk beds together may crack or break if over-tightened, or if repeated jumping on or climbing over the sides of the bed occurs.
