Fortemotus Direct Adult Portable Bed Rails Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Entrapment and Asphyxiation; Violate Mandatory Standard for Adult Portable Bed Rails

Hazard

The recalled bed rails violate the mandatory standard for adult portable bed rails because users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress, posing a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation. The bed rails do not meet structural stability or retention strap requirements, posing a fall hazard. The bed rails' push pins and push pin holes are incorrectly sized, posing a laceration hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled adult portable bed rails and contact Fortemotus Direct US for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the bed rails by cutting the handrails' foam padding, take a photo of the destroyed rails and send it to fortemotusofficial@outlook.com
