The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is calling on consumers to 'immediately stop using' 285,000 Mobility Transfer Systems adult portable bed rails that have been linked to three deaths.
Mobility Transfer Systems adult portable bed rails can pose a risk of serious injury or death to users.Since 2006, at least three people have become entrapped in one model of the bed rails and died, according to the CPSC, including a 78-year-old woman in a Michigan at an assisted living facility died in 2006 followed by an 85-year-old man at an Oklahoma nursing home in 2007. The latest incident involved a 90-year-old disabled woman in California in 2013, according to the CPSC.
Still, the two companies that manufactured and sold the bed rails since 1992, Mobility Transfer Systems Inc. manufactured followed by Metal Tubing USA Inc., have yet to "recall the bed rails and to offer a remedy to consumers," the agency said.
