A major recall has been issued for WeHwupe Adult Portable Bed Rails, following reports that the products pose a serious safety risk, including the potential for entrapment and fatal asphyxiation.
Recall details
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on May 29, 2025, affecting approximately 94,800 units of WeHwupe Adult Portable Bed Rails. The recall includes two specific models and their assembly instructions:
Model BRX-8002
Model BRX-8003
Assembly Instructions for BRX-8002 and BRX-8003
Hazard summary
The recalled bed rails fail to comply with federal safety standards for adult portable bed rails. According to the CPSC, when attached to a bed, the rails can create dangerous gaps between the mattress and the rail or within the rail structure itself. This design flaw can trap users, increasing the risk of asphyxiation and death.
Further compounding the issue, the products do not display mandatory hazard warning labels, a critical lapse that may have prevented consumers from understanding the associated risks.
Consumer guidance and remedy
Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled bed rails. The manufacturer is offering a free replacement product as a remedy. Instructions on how to receive the replacement or return the defective product can be found through the company’s official recall notice or via the CPSC website.
No injuries or fatalities have been publicly reported in connection with the products as of the recall date, but the design flaws mirror risks that have previously resulted in deaths linked to other similar adult bed rails on the market.
