The Hazard
ASPHYXIATION/ENTRAPMENT
ZOLIQUEX is recalling their adult portable bed rails because they can trap people, leading to serious injury or death by asphyxiation (suffocation). The bed rails don’t meet safety rules for adult bed rails, and they don’t have the right warning labels. Stop using these bed rails immediately to avoid danger.
About 16,000 units are affected. No injuries have been reported.
Technical Breakdown
The recalled bed rails fail to meet the mandatory safety standards for adult portable bed rails. The design allows a user to become trapped either within the rail itself or between the rail and the mattress. This creates a dangerous situation where a person can be unable to breathe, leading to asphyxiation and potentially death.
Furthermore, the bed rails lack the necessary warning labels that would alert users and caregivers to the potential hazards associated with their use. This absence of proper labeling increases the risk of accidents and injuries, as users may not be fully aware of the dangers present.
Affected Products
- ZOLIQUEX Adult Portable Bed Rails. The bed rail is silver, measures 12.4 inches wide by 33.07 inches tall, and weighs 7.1 pounds.
