A recall was issued for 12,355 adult bed rails because the products may pose severe injury and entrapment hazards, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

In a Feb. 19 recall notice, agency officials explain that when the bed rails are attached to a bed, users can become trapped inside the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress.

When this happens, the product poses a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation. The CPSC says the bed rails don’t have the required hazard warning labels and violate the federal standards. No one has been injured from using the bed rails.

What bed rails were recalled? 

Why you should care:

Vive Health Bed Rails are impacted by the recall. These products come in a white frame with a black handle and measure 20 inches wide by 32 inches tall.

The bed rails were sold on Amazon and ViveHealth.com between August 2023 and December 2025 in the price range of $45 and $80.

Is a refund available for the bed rails?

What you can do:

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says consumers with the bed rails are urged to stop using them immediately and call Vive Health to receive a refund. 

Consumers should write "RECALLED" on the upper and lower bedrails with a permanent marker and take a picture of the marked bed rail with the buyer's name on a piece of paper and submit an email to recalls@vivehealth.com. 

Additionally, agency officials require owners of the bed rails to throw it away to comply with state and local waste disposal procedures. Only bed rails purchased after August 21, 2023, are included in this recall.
