Plain-English summary

Dream On Me Inc. is recalling approximately 900 units of its children's bed rails due to suffocation and strangulation hazards. The bed rails, which are used to keep young children from falling out of bed, feature a white metal frame covered in blue or pink mesh fabric. The hazard exists because the rail can separate from the mattress, allowing a child's body to become entrapped if it slips between the rail and the mattress.

The recalled bed rails measure 17 inches high by 41 inches long and have metal arms that extend about 1.5 feet under the mattress. The words "Dream on Me" are printed on the top rail. The company states that no injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The bed rails were sold at small independent stores and online through Amazon.com and Wayfair.com from September 2011 through May 2012 for between $15 and $30. Consumers should stop using the bed rails immediately and contact Dream On Me for a refund. The company can be reached toll-free at (877) 201-4317 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.dreamonme.com by clicking on "Recalls".
