The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is urging consumers to stop using bed rails sold at Walmart and Amazon after the death of an 81-year-old woman.
OasisSpace bed rails, distributed and sold by Gold Kernal LLC, have been flagged by the CPSC for creating an asphyxiation hazard with potential for users to become entrapped between the bed rail and mattress. The bed rails failed to meet the requirements of the Safety Standard for Adult Portable Bed Rails, CPSC said.
The safety warning follows the October 2023 death of an 81-year-old Ohio woman who died after becoming entrapped between an OasisiSpace bed rail and the mattress.
Gold Kernal has not issued a recall of the bed rails or offered a remedy to consumers, CPSC said.
The warning covers four models of OasisSpace bed rails, including:
Model Number: F042, Dimensions: Adjustable height from about 28.5 to 42 inches; 17 inches wideModel Number: F127, Dimensions: Adjustable height from about 12 to 18 inches; 13 inches wideModel Number: G132, Dimensions: Adjustable height from about 18 to 22 inches; 13 inches wideModel Number: G286, Dimensions: About 16 inches high and 38 inches wide
About 86,100 bed rails were sold from July 2019 to February 2025 on OasisSpace.com, Amazon.com, and Walmart.com for between $30 and $108. Products have also been found for sale by third-party sellers and websites like eBay.com.
The CPSC recommends consumers immediately stop using the bed rails and dispose of them.
Consumers should report any incidents involving injury or product defect to the CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.
