Adult Bed Rails Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled two adult portable bed rail brands, KingPavonini and Agrish. Both violate the federal safety standard for the product. KingPavonini recalled about 81,050 units on November 26, 2025.

Agrish Direct recalled about 5,000 units on January 8, 2026, after one reported fall involving model 2512. Both brands were sold only on Amazon.com: KingPavonini’s six models and Agrish’s three models.

A user can become entrapped within a rail or between the rail and mattress, risking death by asphyxiation. Consumers should stop use, and register online with the maker for a refund or replacement. Both recalls remain open.

Latest Adult Bed Rails Recall Updates

January 8, 2026: Agrish Recalls 5,000 Bed Rails

CPSC and Agrish Direct recalled about 5,000 Agrish Adult Portable Bed Rails on January 8, 2026. The recall covers models 2512, 2513, and 2516, which miss CPSC’s mandatory bed rail standard and lack required warning labels [1].

Agrish sold the rails on Amazon.com from April through October 2025 for $50 to $80. The company reported one fall involving model 2512 and is offering a full refund to buyers who register online.

November 26, 2025: KingPavonini Recalls 81,050 Bed Rails

CPSC and KingPavonini recalled about 81,050 KingPavonini Adult Portable Bed Rails on November 26, 2025 [2]. The recall covers six models that violate the same federal safety standard and lack required warning labels.

The rails were sold only on Amazon.com from June 2024 through May 2025 for $30 to $85. KingPavonini has not received any reports of injury and is offering a refund or free replacement.

November 14, 2024: CPSC Warns of 18 Deaths Since 2021

CPSC issued a consumer safety alert on November 14, 2024. Alongside it, the agency recalled about 222,000 Medical King adult portable bed rails linked to one death [3]. It called this the ninth adult-portable-bed-rail recall since 2021.

CPSC reported more than 3 million affected units and 18 deaths reported since 2021 across these recalls. About 92 percent of the fatalities involved head or neck entrapment.

May 30, 2024: Medline Recalls 1.5 Million Bed Rails

CPSC and Medline Industries recalled about 1.5 million Bed Assist Bar adult portable bed rails in the United States on May 30, 2024 [4]. The recall also covered about 5,522 units sold in Canada.

Medline linked the recall to two entrapment deaths, one in July 2019 and one in November 2023. The rails can trap a user between the rail and the mattress.

August 21, 2023: Mandatory Bed Rail Safety Standard Takes Effect

CPSC’s mandatory safety standard for adult portable bed rails, 16 CFR part 1270, took effect on August 21, 2023 [5]. The rule requires bed rails made after that date to meet new structural and warning-label requirements.

Every adult-portable-bed-rail recall since then, including KingPavonini’s and Agrish’s, has centered on rails that violate this standard. CPSC ties each one to entrapment, structural, or warning-label failures.

December 22, 2021: Compass Health Recalls Carex Bed Rails

CPSC and Compass Health Brands recalled about 104,900 Carex-brand adult portable bed rails on December 22, 2021, after three entrapment deaths [6]. The deaths were reported between April 2014 and June 2020.

The recall also covered about 110 units sold in Canada. This 2021 recall was an early example of the entrapment hazard CPSC later addressed with its 2023 mandatory standard.

Which Adult Bed Rails Are Affected?

KingPavonini and Agrish adult portable bed rails were both sold exclusively on Amazon.com under CPSC’s recall notices. CPSC recalled the following models:

• KingPavonini Adult Portable Bed Rails: models BC-CBJ-X, BC-CBJ, BC-LDFS-X, LDFS-SSK, 04-BC-LDFS, and BC-LDFS. Sold on Amazon.com from June 2024 through May 2025.
• Agrish Adult Portable Bed Rails: models 2512, 2513, and 2516. Sold on Amazon.com from April through October 2025.

CPSC’s recall notices name these models specifically, so a bed rail without one of these numbers is not part of either recall.

KingPavonini sold its rails for $30 to $85, and Agrish sold its rails for $50 to $80, both only on Amazon.com.

Why Were the Adult Bed Rails Recalled?

The KingPavonini and Agrish adult bed rails were recalled because they violate 16 CFR part 1270, CPSC’s mandatory safety standard for these products. The same standard is involved in every recall on this page.

Under this standard, a bed rail must resist a user becoming entrapped within the rail or between the rail and the mattress. That entrapment can cause death by asphyxiation, and CPSC found both KingPavonini and Agrish rails failed this protection.

Neither the KingPavonini nor the Agrish rails carry the required hazard warning labels, a separate requirement under the same mandatory standard that both recalls formally cite.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

KingPavonini has not received any reports of injury linked to its recalled bed rails, according to the CPSC notice. Agrish reported one incident: a consumer fall involving model 2512, with no injury described in the notice.

These two figures cover only the KingPavonini and Agrish recalls. CPSC has linked entrapment hazards in this product category to a longer pattern of deaths across other brands. That pattern is described in Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions below.

A reported incident is not confirmed proof that a specific rail caused it, and neither the KingPavonini nor the Agrish reports have been tested in a lawsuit.

What Should Consumers Do?

Owners of a recalled KingPavonini or Agrish adult bed rail should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the bed rail immediately and remove it from the bed.
2. If you have a KingPavonini rail, disassemble the upper and lower rails and support legs.
3. Mark the disassembled parts “RECALLED” in permanent marker and photograph them with your name visible.
4. KingPavonini owners: upload the photo at kingpavonini.com.cn. Then contact KingPavonini at 888-281-8150 or service@kingpavonini.com for a refund or free replacement.
5. Agrish owners: register online at agrish.online/recall for a full refund and disposal instructions.
6. Dispose of the recalled rail according to state and local waste rules.
7. Report any injury or incident to CPSC directly at SaferProducts.gov or 800-638-2772.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

CPSC has recalled several other adult portable bed rail brands under the same mandatory standard. Medline Industries recalled about 1.5 million Bed Assist Bar rails, plus about 5,522 units in Canada, after two entrapment deaths.

Compass Health Brands recalled about 104,900 Carex-brand rails, plus about 110 in Canada, after three entrapment deaths. Medical King recalled about 222,000 rails after one death.

CPSC’s November 2024 safety alert placed these recalls within a broader pattern of adult-portable-bed-rail actions since 2021, citing entrapment and warning-label failures across multiple brands.

Legal Options

No multidistrict litigation has been filed over adult bed rail entrapment. No class action has been certified either.

People injured by a recalled bed rail, or families of someone who died from one, may be able to bring an individual claim. That claim could allege product liability or wrongful death against the brand that made or imported it.

A recall does not automatically establish liability or prove a company is at fault. An attorney can review the facts of a specific incident and explain the available legal options.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for a bed rail injury or wrongful-death claim come from state law. Where you live and when the injury or death happened can both affect the deadline.

Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong. A lawyer can confirm the deadline that applies to a specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do If My Bed Rail Has No Visible Model Number?

If your bed rail has no visible model number, check the original packaging or purchase receipt for the identifying details CPSC’s notices list. You can also photograph the rail and contact the brand directly to confirm whether it matches a recalled model.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Refund or Replacement After Registering?

Refund and replacement processing time after registering varies by brand and current recall response volume, so there’s no fixed timeline. Registering online as soon as possible and keeping your confirmation number or email are the best ways to avoid delays and follow up if needed.

Who Imports the Recalled KingPavonini and Agrish Bed Rails?

KingPavonini Adult Portable Bed Rails are imported by Henan Kingpavonini Network Technology Co., Ltd., according to the CPSC recall notice. Agrish Adult Portable Bed Rails are imported by Shenzhen Yunshangqinyang E-commerce Ltd., doing business as Agrish Direct.

Is It Safe to Buy a New Adult Bed Rail Right Now?

Buying a new adult bed rail is safe if it meets CPSC’s mandatory safety standard, which requires stronger entrapment protection and clearer warning labels. Look for a stated compliance claim before buying, since manufacturers can still legally sell bed rails that meet the current standard.

What Should I Keep If I Was Hurt by a Recalled Bed Rail?

If you were hurt by a recalled bed rail, keep the rail itself or clear photos of it, the original box or receipt, and any medical records tied to the injury. A lawyer can use these details later to evaluate whether an individual claim is possible.

Were the KingPavonini and Agrish Bed Rails Sold Outside the United States?

No, the KingPavonini and Agrish bed rails were not sold outside the United States. CPSC’s notices list about 81,050 KingPavonini rails and about 5,000 Agrish rails, all sold through Amazon.com’s U.S. site. Unlike some other recalled bed rail brands, neither shipped units to Canada.
