Bed rails recalled, one person dead in entrapment case

(CNN) – More than 200,000 adult bed rails are being recalled because they pose a serious risk of entrapment and suffocation.

The recall comes after a person died when they became trapped between the mattress and the bed rail.

The bed rails were manufactured by Medical King.

The recall includes the bed assist rail with adjustable heights and the bed assist rail without legs.

They were sold between January 2020 and March 2024 on the manufacturer’s website and at Amazon, Walmart, Target and other online retailers.

You should stop using the product immediately and contact Medical King.

They will send a free repair kit or a replacement, depending on the model.
