What’s the Problem?
The recalled bed rails can create an entrapment zone when attached to a bed. An individual can become trapped within the rail or between the rail and the mattress, which can lead to asphyxiation.
The recall also states the bed rails do not include required hazard warning labels. The concern is most serious for users who may have limited mobility or may be unable to reposition themselves.
