Around 222,000 Bed Rails Have Been Recalled by Medical King

Recently, manufacturer Home4U, which does business as Medical King and the United States Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled around 222,000 adult portable bedrails because the product carries the threat of serious entrapment and asphyxia. People using the bedrails can get trapped between the bed and the rail or may find themselves between the mattress and the rail. One man has died in connection with the affected bedrails.

Between January 2020-March 2024, around 222,000 bed rails made by Medical King were sold for $40 at medicalkingusa.com, Amazon.com, Target Plus, Walmart.com, eBay, and Kohls.com were recalled. Made in China, the bedrails that have been recalled are the Medical King Bed Assist Rail Without Legs (model number 7037) and Medical King’s Bed Assist Rail with Adjustable Heights (model numbers 7007 and 7057). The one with no legs has a silver metal tube construction, a black fabric pouch, and a black foam rubber grip handle. The one with adjustable heights is composed of white or black metal tubing and has a black foam rubber grip handle, plus fabric pouch.

As a result of a recalled Medical King bed rail (the Bed Assist Rail with Adjustable Heights, model number 7007), a 66-year-old was entrapped by the bed rail against a mattress and died.   If you or a loved one is using a recalled bed rail, it is imperative to stop using it. You can get a free repair kit or replacement bed rail by contacting the manufacturer.

If you were injured or a loved one died, you may need to pursue damages in a product liability lawsuit. These types of lawsuits are brought when a product is defective in terms of its manufacturing, design, or marketing. In most cases, we would need to retain an expert or experts to figure out whether there was a defect and whether that defect caused your injuries. Theories that may be used to establish liability, depending on the state law that governs, include strict liability, negligence, statutory violation, breach of warranty, and breach of contract.

It may be appropriate for us to file a wrongful death lawsuit if your loved one died because of entrapment or asphyxiation. These are lawsuits to recover compensation based on the loss of a loved one when they died due to the actionable fault of another (such as a strictly liable or negligent manufacturer). Each state has its own rules around who can file the lawsuit and what damages can be recovered.

It is tragic when someone dies a preventable death due to a defective product. Our attorneys may be able to bring a lawsuit for damages on your behalf, if you were injured or a loved one died as the result of a Medical King bedrail.
