Reason for Recall
When attached to an adult's bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the rail and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bed rails and contact Compass Health Brands for a free repair kit for the Bed Support Rail or a refund for the Easy Up 2-in-1 Bed Rail.
