A federal safety agency is warning consumers not to use the CanFord brand of bed rails.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the bed rails violate the mandatory standard for adult portable bed rails. They pose a deadly risk of entrapment and asphyxiation. When the bed rails are attached to a bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail, or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress.

The CPSC said it issued a notice of violation to the company but it has not agreed to a recall.

About 10,600 bed rails were sold for between $70 and $110 at Amazon.com from August 2023 through December 2025. The bed rails also may have been sold on other websites.

The bed rails were sold for use on adult beds. The foldable bed rails have four metallic support bars and a metallic top rail with a red release button that collapses the bed rail. They come with a black nylon strap to secure the bed rail when folded. The SKU number, SV-2M0R-KE9E, is printed on the product packaging.

People should immediately stop using them and throw them away. They should not be sold or donated.

The CPSC routinely issues safety warnings and recalls of bed rails.

Earlier in January, more than 40,000 Sangohe and Yolaah brand rails were recalled. They were sold on Amazon and Walmart.com.

In December 2025, JOKOSIS brand recalled 12,000 bed rails sold on Amazon.

In October 2025, Leachoi recalled 7,800 adult portable bed rails that were sold on Amazon.

In October 2025, the CPSC issued warnings about OasisSpace and KoolDoo brands of bed rails. An 81-year-old woman died in October 2023 after becoming trapped in the space between one of these bed rails and her mattress.

In June 2022, the CPSC issued a warning about 285,000 Mobility Transfer Systems bed rails saying, “At least three people have died after becoming entrapped in one model of the bed rails. They include a 78-year-old woman in a Michigan assisted living facility in 2006, an 85-year-old man in an Oklahoma nursing home in 2007, and a 90-year-old disabled woman in California in 2013.”

In February 2023 Platinum Health recalled about 53,000 of the LumaRail brand of adult portable bed rails after an 81-year-old man in a Pennsylvania nursing home became trapped between his mattress and portable bed rails and died in October 2021.

All portable adult bed rails that were manufactured after Aug. 21, 2023, are required to meet the safety standards.
