What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The product poses a serious risk of death by asphyxiation and violates federal regulations for adult portable bed rails, which falls under the Severe category (risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported) combined with explicit mention of death risk and federal regulation violation. Although no injuries have been reported, the stated hazard of asphyxiation death warrants a Severe classification rather than High due to the severity of the potential outcome.

Plain-English summary

Ceither Adult Portable Bed Rails, sold exclusively on Amazon.com between August 21, 2023 and August 2024, are being recalled due to violations of federal regulations for adult portable bed rails. The recalled product is a black metal and foam bed support railing measuring about 12-1/2 inches wide with adjustable height between approximately 30 to 42 inches.

The bed rails pose a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation. When attached to a bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail itself or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress. The hazard exists because the product violates federal safety regulations governing the design and construction of adult portable bed rails.

Approximately 1,170 units were sold for about $40 each. The product was distributed by Yangkeqiang, doing business as Inforce, of China. No injuries have been reported to date.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bed rails. To receive a refund, consumers should email a photo of the disposed bed rail along with either a statement confirming purchase on or after August 21, 2023 or an Amazon purchase receipt to [email protected]. The company will only provide refunds for bed rails purchased on or after August 21, 2023. Consumers can also contact Inforce through their Amazon storefront for more information.
