Platinum Health LumaRail Adult Portable Bed Rails
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Suffocation risk.
