Recalled Bed Assist Rail with Adjustable Heights (model 7007)

Description

This recall involves the Bed Assist Rail with Adjustable Heights (model numbers 7007 and 7057) and the Bed Assist Rail Without Legs (model number 7037). The Bed Assist Rail with Adjustable Heights is made of black or white metal tubing with a rounded black foam rubber grip handle and a fabric pouch. The Bed Assist Rail Without Legs is made of silver metal tubing with a black foam rubber grip handle and a black fabric pouch.

Hazards

When the recalled bed rails are attached to an adult's bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation.

Reported injuries

Medical King has received one report of a death involving the Bed Assist Rail with Adjustable Heights, model number 7007. In November 2023, at a residential care facility in South Carolina, a 66-year-old man died after becoming entrapped between his mattress and the bed rail.
