The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
When the bedrail is attached, 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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Suffocation risk.
