Essential Medical Supply is reannouncing the recall of about 272,000 Endurance Hand Bed Rails because users can become trapped between the rail and the mattress or within the rail itself. This recall involves model numbers P1410, P1410-P, P1411, and P1411-P that do not end with the letter "R." Three deaths have been reported, including two fatalities that occurred after the original 2021 recall was announced. The company is offering a pro-rated refund for units sold or imported on or after November 1, 2015.
Users can become caught in the bed rail or between the rail and the mattress side, creating a serious entrapment hazard that can lead to death by asphyxiation. There have been three reported deaths involving these bed rails: an 86-year-old in 2012, an 86-year-old in 2022, and a 99-year-old in 2023.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bed rails. For consumers who own the recalled bed rails sold or imported on or after November 1, 2015, Essential Medical Supply Inc., will provide a refund. The amount of the refund will be pro-rated based on the age of the bed rail.
Only bed rails that do NOT have model numbers ending in "R" are included in this recall. Labels are located on the grip handle.
