Recall Issued for Agrish Adult Portable Bed Rails Due to Injury and Entrapment Risk for Users

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (January 18, 2026) – A recall was issued for the Agrish Adult Portable Bed Rails because they can pose a risk of serious injury and death due to entrapment.

The recall was issued on January 8, 2026. Roughly 5000 units were sold prior to the recall.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Agrish Adult Portable Bed Rails violate mandatory safety standards for adult portable bed rails. In particular, users can become entrapped between the bed rail and the side of the mattress.

This creates a risk of entrapment and potentially death by asphyxiation. The company has received one report where a user fell while using the bed rails.

The Agrish Adult Portable Bed Rails were originally manufactured in China.

Falls remain one of the leading causes of preventable injury and death for older adults. This is why it is so important that bed rails are properly designed to prevent falls and entrapment. There are many ways that adult portable bed rails may be defective.

• Adult portable bed rails may be defective if they allow for gaps between the rail and the mattress.
