Nearly 95,000 portable bed rails are being recalled due to entrapment and suffocation risks

WeHwupe-1 Portable Bed RailsMore adult bed rails are being recalled.

WeHwupe is recalling about 94,800 adult portable bed rails because the bed rails violate federal regulations, posing a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation.

Users can be entrapped in the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress. In addition, the bed rails don’t have the required hazard warning labels.

The firm has received one report involving the BRX-8002 model bed rail, which broke during use, resulting in a fall injury.

The recall involves WeHwupe branded adult portable bed rails, models BRX-8002 and BRX-8003. The model numbers can be found on the assembly instructions. Both bed railings are made of white metal tubing with a rounded gray foam rubber grip handle and a fabric pouch.

The bed rails were sold Online at Amazon.com and Walmart.com from September 2023 through January 2025. The cost was between $33 and $43.

Consumers should stop using the recalled adult portable bed rails immediately and contact WeHwupe Store to obtain a free replacement, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise. Consumers should follow these disposal steps: 

  1. Remove the upper rail, connecting rails, bottom rail and legs, if present.
  2. Write “RECALLED” on the upper and bottom rails with a permanent marker.
  3. Cut the black fabric mesh bag off the upper rail using scissors, and cut the black safety strap in half, if present.   
  4. Write the buyer’s name on a piece of paper next to the disassembled product.
  5. Take a photo and upload it online at https://chunqushop.com/wehwupe-bed-rail-safety-recall.
