Recalls in September 2015

Consumers bitten by a health insurance scam will soon be getting their money back.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is mailing out 6,832 checks totaling more than $1.1 million to consumers who bought memberships from the Independent Association of Businesses (IAB) and Health Service Providers (HSP). Individual checks are in the amount of $167.73.

In 2012, the FTC charged IAB and HSP with violating the FTC Act and the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule by deceiving consumers seeking comprehensive health insurance.

Instead of health coverage, consumers received membership in IAB, an obscure trade association that provided purported discounts on services such as identity-theft protection, travel, roadside assistance, and some healthcare related benefits that were subject to broad exclusions and limitations.

Under settlement orders issued in 2013 and 2014, the defendants are banned from selling healthcare-related products.

Consumers should deposit or cash the checks within 60 days of the mailing date. Those who receive checks and have questions may contact Gilardi & Co., the FTC’s refund administrator, at 1-877-255-2476.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Bed Handles Inc., of Blue Springs, Mo., are reannouncing the voluntary recall of about 113,000 adult portable bed handles.

The original recall in May 2014 produced a response of less than 1%.

When attached to an adult’s bed without the use of safety retention straps, a handle can shift out of place creating a dangerous gap between the bed handle and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious risk of entrapment, strangulation and death.

The recall involves adult portable bed handles sold by Bed Handles, Inc. from 1994 through 2007 that do not have safety retention straps to secure the bed handle to the bed frame to keep the bed handle from shifting out of place and creating a dangerous gap.

The L-shaped bed handles are made out of ¾ inch tubular steel, measure 20 inches wide, 16 to 20 inches tall and have 3 ft. poles that extend under the mattress. They are are intended to assist adults getting in and out of bed by giving them a bar to grip.

Recalled models include the Original Bedside Assistant (BA10W), the Travel Handles (BA11W) which is sold as a set of two bed handles, and the Adjustable Bedside Assistant (AJ1):

• The Original Bedside Assistant (BA10W) and the Travel Handles (BA11W) have a white handle with white poles that go under the mattress.
• The Adjustable Bedside Assistant (AJ1) is gold and has a black cushioned foam handle.

Bed Handles, Inc. and the model number are printed on a white label on the bed handles.

Consumers should immediately stop using all recalled bed handles that were sold without safety retention straps, and contact Bed Handles, Inc. for free safety retention straps to secure the bed handle to the bed frame, new assembly and installation instructions for models BA10W, BA11W and AJ1 and a warning label to attach to the bed handles.
