Plain-English summary
The JOKOSIS Bed Rail, model HC0262, is being recalled. The rails are black, include a zippered storage pouch, measure 31.5 inches tall by 40.6 inches wide, and have "HC0262" printed on the packaging.
The bed rails violate the mandatory standard for adult portable bed rails because when attached to a bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress, posing a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation. The rails also do not bear the required hazard warning labels. No incidents have been reported.
About 12,000 units were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2025 through November 2025 for between $40 and $50.
Consumers should immediately stop using the bed rails and contact JOKOSIS for a refund. They should write "RECALLED" on the upper and lower rails in permanent marker, photograph them, email the photo to [email protected], and dispose of the product in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.
