Carex adult portable bed rails (models P566/P569) sold 2012-2021 recalled due to entrapment and asphyxiation risks. Consumers must stop using and contact for repair or refund.
When attached to an adult's bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the rail and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation.
