BeyondMedShop Recalls Vaunn Medical Adult Bed Rails Due to Serious Entrapment and Asphyxia Hazards

Hazard

When the recalled bed rails are attached to an adult's bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bed rails and contact BeyondMedShop for a free repair. The firm expects the remedy to be available in May 2023.
