Affected model numbers
MDS6800BAThe name "Medline" and the model number are printed on a label located on the support frame of the bed rail near the vertical portion of the bed rail.
Which products are included?
The recalled bed rails have model numbers MDS6800BA and MDS6800BAH. The two models are identical, but model MDS6800BA was sold individually and model MDS6800BAH was sold in cases of three units. The bed rails are made of black metal tubing with a rounded black foam rubber grip handle and a fabric pouch. The name "Medline" and the model number are printed on a label located on the support frame of the bed rail near the vertical portion of the bed rail.
Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
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.
