An 80-year-old woman died one month after her Sleep Number Bed suddenly moved without warning and trapped her against a wall for two days last year, a new lawsuit alleges.
Walker purchased the Sleep Number Bed in Brentwood, Missouri, on Oct. 19, 2014, and it had a 25-year warranty.
“The Sleep Number Bed was defective and unreasonably dangerous in its design and lack of warning.”Moan is suing Sleep Number and Leggett & Platt Inc. alleging negligence, wrongful death, strict liability and breach of warranty.
The suit seeks compensation for Walker's death, suffering and injuries, related medical bills and "for the loss of her mother’s society."
NBC News did not immediately hear back from Sleep Number and Leggett & Platt Inc. for comment Thursday afternoon.
