Why is it being recalled? (Hazard)
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.
What should I do? (Remedy)
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bed rails and contact Medline to receive a full refund.
