Medline Recalls 1.5 Million Bed Rails After Asphyxiation Deaths
The portable bed rails have been linked to the deaths of two elderly women, prompting a recall in the U.S. and Canada.
- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall due to risks of entrapment and asphyxiation.
- Two models, MDS6800BA and MDS6800BAH, sold between 2009 and 2024, are affected.
- Consumers should stop using the bed rails immediately and contact Medline for a refund.
