The hazard: Strangulation, entrapment or suffocation hazard

Strangulation and suffocation risks are what this notice addresses. Supervision is not a workable substitute for the remedy, because these incidents happen in silence and in minutes.

What the notice says: The recalled bed rails violate the mandatory standard for adult portable bed rails because when the bed rails are attached to a bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress, posing a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation. The bed rails do not meet structural stability or retention strap requirements, posing a fall hazard. In addition, the bed rails do not bear the required hazard warning labels.

Why it matters: A cord, gap, strap or soft surface on this product can trap a child or restrict their breathing. These incidents are silent: there is no noise to bring an adult in from the next room.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child is found trapped or unresponsive, free them if you safely can, call 911, and start CPR if they are not breathing. Even after an apparently full recovery, a child who lost consciousness or had their airway blocked needs to be assessed the same day, because swelling and lung injury can develop afterwards.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves Xalirium-branded adult portable bed rails. They have a white frame with black foam rubber grips and a black fabric pouch. The bed rails measure about 17.15 inches high, 4.33 inches wide and 1.99 inches long. "Xalirium" is printed on the label of the product packaging. Only bed rails without vertical bars inside the opening are included in this recall.

What to do about Strangulation

usOpal — Strangulation and suffocation risks are what this notice addresses. Supervision is not a workable substitute for the remedy, because these incidents happen in silence and in minutes.

  1. Stop using the product immediately and move it out of the room where the child sleeps or plays.
  2. Do not resell, donate or hand it on. Passing on a recalled nursery item is illegal in the United States and is the main way these products stay in circulation.
  3. Tell every other carer: grandparents, childminders, nurseries. Recalled sleep products most often resurface at a second home.
  4. Claim the remedy on this page, photographing the model and date code first — the claim form will ask for both.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.
  • Give it ten working days, then chase in writing and quote your claim reference.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled adult portable bed rails immediately and contact usOpal for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to cut the black storage bag and straps and to cut the foam padding on the bed rails, write "RECALLED" on the upper and lower bed rails, and send a photo of the marked rails to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.
