Essential Medical Supply recalls adult hand bed rails (models P1410-P1411) due to entrapment and asphyxia risk. One death reported. Consumers should stop use and return for refund or dispose of older models.
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.
