Why it was recalled
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.
Compass has received three reports of entrapment deaths associated with the Bed Support Rail (model P566), between April 2014 and June 2020, involving an 85-year-old man at an assisted living facility in Ohio; an 84-year-old woman at home in California; and an 88-year-old woman at an assisted living facility in Washington. In each case, the bed rail was not securely attached to the bed entrapping the user. No entrapment reports involving the Easy Up 2-in-1 Bed Rail (model P569).
The official remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bed rails and contact Compass Health Brands for a free repair kit for the Bed Support Rail or a refund for the Easy Up 2-in-1 Bed Rail.
