‘Stop using immediately’: 122K household products recalled after two deaths
More than 122,000 adult bed rails sold across the U.S. are being recalled after two deaths were linked to the products, federal safety officials say .
The recall, issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission , involves multiple models made by Vive Health LLC due to a dangerous entrapment risk.
According to the agency, users can become stuck either inside the rail itself or in the space between the rail and the mattress — a situation that can lead to asphyxiation.
Two fatal incidents tied to one of the recalled models were reported to the company.
Both happened in September 2024, including a 97-year-old man in a Texas assisted living facility and a 93-year-old man at a private residence in Florida.
Which bed rails are affected?
The recall includes three specific products:
-
Compact Bed Rail (model LVA2009SLV)
-
Bed Rail Collection V (model LVA2097SLV)
-
Bed Rail model LVA1024, but only units purchased on or before Aug. 21, 2023
Newer versions of the LVA1024 model were already recalled earlier this year, in February 2026.
The rails are constructed from white or silver metal tubing and include a black foam handle. Some units may not clearly display branding or model information, making them harder to identify.
Where they were sold
These bed rails were widely available nationwide in stores and online — including through Vive Health's website, Amazon, and medical supply retailers.
They were sold between September 2019 and December 2025, typically priced between $45 and $90.
What consumers should do now
Anyone who owns one of these bed rails should stop using it immediately.
To get a refund, consumers need to:
-
Mark the product with the word "RECALLED" on both the top and bottom
-
Take a photo of the marked item alongside their name written on paper
-
Email the image torecalls@vivehealth.com
After submitting the claim, the company says the product should be thrown away by following local disposal guidelines.
Consumers can also report any safety issues related to the product through the federal reporting system at SaferProducts.gov.
