National furniture brand faces Chapter 7 bankruptcy, liquidation
Most Americans pretty much ignore recall notices. Even car manufacturers have to go to fairly great lengths to get people to bring their vehicles in for needed repairs. There's just a lot of noise when it comes to recalls and most people probably throw the items away rather than bring it back for a refund. I know, that the eye drops I regularly use for dry eye were recalled, and I only saw the notice because of what I do for a living. Related: Beloved 159-year-old Home Depot rival shuts down, liquidates Once I read the recall notice, I promptly ignored it because the dangers were minimal and I was pretty sure the packages I had were not included In some cases, however, products, get recalled because they are dangerous. The problem is that sometimes a lot of people can get hurt before a recall notice gets issued. When that happens, it could be devastating to the company involved and can sometimes lead to the end of that company. CVB Inc. which operates under the Malouf brand name recently had a massive recall involving 137,000 platform beds that pose a serious fall and injury risk. The fallout from that recall may force the company into a chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation if some of its creditors have their way. CVB also operates under the Lucid brand name, which it uses under license. "This recall involves Lucid Platform Beds with an upholstered square tufted headboard in Twin, Full, Queen, King and Cal-King sizes. They were sold in beige, black, charcoal, cobalt, pearl, and stone colors. The recalled beds have wooden support beams and wooden support legs and a white federal law label with "Made For: CVB INC, 1525 W 2960 S, LOGAN, UT 84321" printed on it," the CSPC shared on its website in Sept. 2024. Consumers were told that they should immediately stop using the recalled beds and contact Lucid for a free replacement bed frame. To claim their replacement, consumers must write "recalled" on the support rails of the bed with a permanent marker and send a photo of the bed, as well as a photo of the support rails on the underside of the bed or a photo of the law label, to recall@ to receive the free replacement product. "The firm has received 245 reports of the beds breaking, sagging or collapsing during use, causing 18 injuries, including contusions and bruises," according to the CSPC. The beds were sold at dozens of big-name digital and brink-and-mortar retailers. Online at Bed Bath & Beyond, Brookside, eBay, Home Depot, JC Penney, Lucid, Macys, Menards, Overstock, QVC, Malouf VIP, Wayfair and Walmart, and in stores nationwide from September 2019 through April 2024 for between $150 and $250 In addition to its recall woes (or partially because of them), a bankruptcy petition has been filed against CVB Inc. The court petition was made by six suppliers, citing unpaid debts. The sic companies filed an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah. "Filed July 23, the petition lists six international creditors that allege CVB Inc. has failed to pay about $3.5 million in outstanding debts. According to court documents, the petitioning creditors include Duoman International Ltd., Metalway Co. Ltd., Hebei Home Fashions, Zhejiang Liuqiao Home Textile Co. Ltd., Ningbo Megafeat Bedding Co. Ltd. and Ningbo Unity International Trading Co. Ltd," Furniture Today reported. CVB Inc. vendors post large claims: The largest claim, totaling more than $1.7 million, comes from Ningbo Megafeat Bedding, Hebei Home Fashions is seeking more than $1 million. The remaining creditors are seeking amounts ranging from about $25,000 to nearly $293,000. An attorney for CVB Inc. told Furniture Today that the company disputes the claims made in the petition. Lucid Mattress and multiple other CVB companies continue to operate. The company has a simple description of its reason for being. "At Lucid, our goal is to make great sleep simple, accessible, and affordable for every stage of life. Because when sleep comes easy, so do your dreams," it shared on its website. An involuntary Chapter 7 petition is a legal process where creditors, instead of the debtor, initiate a bankruptcy case against the debtor in order to force the liquidation of the debtor's assets. If the court approves the involuntary bankruptcy filing, the debtor's assets are sold off, and the proceeds are used to pay off the debts owed to the creditors.

Consumer backlash builds over Walmart's hidden price hikes
While Walmart executives have talked al lot about keeping prices down in the face of President Donald Trump's tariffs, pictures posted on social media show otherwise. While it's hard to know how widespread the issue is, social media has lit up with pictures showing price increases of nearly 40% on key grocery items. Electronics have been hit hard too, according to dozen of social media posts. Related: Beloved 159-year-old Home Depot rival shuts down, liquidates That has led to calls for the chain to be boycotted, although pricing is not the reason for a planned August 1 boycott of the chain. That will be happening due to the company dropping its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program, which probably has nothing to do with pricing. The same group running the DEI boycott, People's Union USA, also boycotted the chain in late May over its prices. People's Union USA organizer John Schwarz said the company has profited while working families struggle. "We've watched these companies rake in billions while families can barely afford groceries," Schwarz wrote. "Walmart, just like the rest of them, has been part of that problem." The group's website calls for "economic resistance" as a form of protest. It also makes it clear that it's not affiliated with any political party. "The People's Union USA is a grassroots movement focused on economic resistance, corporate accountability, and real justice for the working class. We're not a political party, we're a movement for the people. All people. No matter your background, beliefs, or affiliation," it shared. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon addressed the company's supply chain during its first-quarter earnings call. "The merchandise that we import comes from all over the world from dozens of countries. Other than the US, the other large markets are China, Mexico, Vietnam, India, and Canada. China, in particular, represents a lot of volume in certain categories like electronics and toys. All of the tariffs create cost pressure for us, but the larger tariffs on China have the biggest impact," he shared. The CEO also gave a timeline for when Walmart began feeling the impact of the tariffs. "The cost pressure from all the tariff impacted markets started in lateApril, and it accelerated in May," he added. McMillon made Walmart's pricing goals clear without any sort of promise that the chain would keep prices at a certain level. Related: Microsoft abruptly closes popular entertainment service "First, we want to keep our food and consumables prices as low as we can. Food prices in the US have gone up in recent years and our customers have been feeling that all along," he said. The CEO did say that Walmart would not raise food prices to make up for money lost on "tariff-related cost pressure" on some general merchandise items. McMillon gave some assurances on food prices, but made it clear that he wasn't freezing prices or losing margin to keep prices on food low. "As it relates to food, tariffs on countries like Costa Rica, Peru, and Colombia, are pressuring imported items like bananas, avocados, coffee, and roses. We'll do our best to control what we can control in order to keep food prices as low as possible," he shared. He did offer some areas where the chain has taken a hit to keep prices down. "In some cases, we're holding our retails where they are despite the tariff cost pressure. Flowers from Mother's Day at Sam's Club U.S. is a good example. Whenit comes to the general merchandise categories that are impacted, we'll move production where that's possible," added.

"We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week (the week of May 15), we aren't able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins," he added. Summary: Walmart CEO Responds to Tariff-Driven Cost Pressures McMillon addressed rising costs during a recent earnings call, pointing to Trump-era tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, Vietnam, and other countries. Key statements: "The cost pressure... started in late April and accelerated in May." "We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible... but we aren't able to absorb all the pressure." "Flowers for Mother's Day at Sam's Club are one example where we took a hit to avoid raising prices." Walmart has come under fire after dozens of employees and shoppers shared photos online showing sudden, significant price increases. According to Reddit and X (the former Twitter) posts: A Jurassic World T-Rex toy price rose from ~$39.92 to $55 in weeks-a ~38% jump A fishing reel increased from $57.37 to $83.26 (~45%) Great Value cocoa powder went from $3.44 (May 2024) to $6.18 (April 2025) A Chromebook listed "on clearance" was priced higher than the original tag images show toy prices spiking up to 240% (e.g., stacking toy from $5.88 to $19.97), while other tags were adjusted upward by $40–50 per item Many users claim shelf labels have been altered quietly, with old prices removed entirely.

Home Depot rival reveals drastic plan to take on big competitors
Over the past year, Ace Hardware has been struggling to combat the widening gap between it and its larger competitors. In March, at Ace Hardware's Spring 2025 Convention, CEO John Venhuizen explained that the hardware store is focusing on rapid expansion. Related: Home Depot has a genius new moneymaker to compete with Lowe's He said that narrowing the gap between Ace and its larger peers is paramount to a successful business strategy. "We face the biggest, best-funded competitors in retail, yet year after year, we continue to grow because of the strength of our independent store owners," Venhuizen said. "At Ace, we combine global scale with local ownership, and that's what keeps us strong." For the year 2024, Ace saw an all-time record revenue of $9.5 billion and over $23 billion in retail sales. Venhuizen has been quick to mention the steady decline of some brick-and-mortar stores, like CVS and Walgreens. He said that the drugstores failed to anticipate or adapt to new customer needs, like betting less on photo services thanks to smartphones or betting more on online prescription delivery. So now, Ace is betting that focusing on what drives customers to its stores - either in-person or online, will be a winning formula. Image source:One of the ways Ace Hardware will attract business is by opening a brand new distribution center to help get inventory to customers faster. The new hub, which functions like a logistics and retail support center, is located in Kansas City, Missouri. At approximately 1.5 million square feet, the center spans one half-mile from end to end. More Retail: Walmart makes drastic change to fight theft amid worrying trendTarget has new plan to win back customers with big savingsHome Depot makes clear statement amid boycott threatsFamous retail chain makes two more alarming store closures That's over double the size of Ace's typical distribution centers. But Ace is betting that this hub will get deliveries to stores faster than ever before. It's located right next to Interstate 29 and Kansas City International Airport, which means getting goods on trucks and planes can happen quickly. Logistics are paramount to Ace's business. Thousands of stores across the U.S. are locally owned. Unlike Home Depot and Lowe's, which are public corporations, Ace is focused on smaller, local operations. It sells DIY materials, basic tools, and other convenience items for neighborhood projects. With 5,800 locations across the U.S., fulfilling orders quickly and managing its logistics effectively must run like a well-oiled machine to keep customers happy. "Today, convenience has been redefined to largely be about inventory availability and speed," Venhuizen explained to Hardware Connection. "75% of the United States is within 15 minutes of an Ace store. This means that we have nearly $4 billion of inventory within moments of most of America. So the combination of our physical assets - stores, inventory, trucks and 100,000 red-vested heroes - and our ever-improving litany of digital assets affords Ace a strategic advantage we do not intend to squander. " That means Ace isn't necessarily competing with Lowe's or Home Depot on a size scale. It doesn't offer the kind of contractor services its big-box competitors do. Rather, it intends to keep its trust and access strong among neighborhoods and DIYers. Relatedly, Ace announced in 2024 that it would invest $1 billion toward store improvements and opening new stores over the next five years. "We tried to create a unique shopping experience that can't easily be replicated online or in-store anywhere," Ace VP of merchandising Dale Fennel said. "We have a small number of our best, most-exclusive brands that really have been fueling most of our growth, and so we set out to elevate those brands."
