The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued an urgent warning regarding portable adult bed rails, linked to 18 suffocation deaths since 2021. This marks a significant safety concern.
Medical King is recalling approximately 220,000 adult portable bed rails due to serious entrapment and asphyxia risks following a tragic incident where a man died in a care facility.
Since January 2020, the recalled bed rails were sold online for about $40 and are part of a concerning trend of 9 recalls in the past three years by the CPSC.
The CPSC reports that 92% of fatalities due to portable bed rails are caused by entrapment of the head or neck, emphasizing the need for stricter safety measures.
