Serious Entrapment Hazard
Bed Handles is reissuing a recall for its portable bed handles after less than 1% responded to the original recall in May, 2014.
According to the recall, “When attached to an adult’s bed without the use of safety retention straps, the handle can shift out of place, creating a dangerous gap between the bed handle and the side of the mattress.”
While the recall is voluntary, using the handle’s without its retention straps poses a serious risk of entrapment, strangulation, and death – three women have died after becoming entrapped between the mattress and the bed handles.
The recalled bed handles were without safety retention straps from 1994 to 2007.
Consumers should contact Bed Handles for free safety retention straps to secure the bed handle to the bed frame.
