Medical King Recalls 220,000 Bed Rails Following Fatality

The recall is part of a broader safety issue with adult bed rails, linked to 18 deaths since 2021.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for Medical King's bed rails due to entrapment and asphyxia risks.
The recall affects models 7007, 7057, and 7037, sold online from January 2020 to March 2024.
A 66-year-old man's death in a South Carolina care facility was linked to these bed rails.
This is the ninth recall of adult portable bed rails in three years, with over 3 million units impacted.
Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled rails and contact Medical King for a free repair kit or replacement.
