Adult bed rails are being recalled after two people died.
Vive Health bed rails, sold online and on Amazon, have been recalled due to a risk of users becoming trapped between the rail and the mattress, which can lead to suffocation, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
In September 2024, a 97-year-old man at an assisted living facility in Texas and a 93-year-old man at his home in Florida died after being entrapped by the bed rails.
These bed rails are being recalled
The products being recalled include: Vive Health Compact Bed Rail (model LVA2009SLV) and Bed Rail Collection V (model LVA2097SLV), along with units of the Vive Health Bed Rail model LVA1024 purchased on or before August 21, 2023.

The bed rails are made of silver or white metal tubing with a black foam rubber grip handle.
Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled bed rails immediately and contact Vive Health for a refund.
When asking for a refund, consumers should write “RECALLED” on the upper and lower portions of the bed rails with a permanent marker, take a photo of the marked bed rail with the buyer’s name on a piece of paper, and email recalls@vivehealth.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.
