Vive Health Recalls Adult Portable Bed Rails Due to Entrapment and Asphyxiation Hazards
Vive Health has recalled approximately 12,355 adult portable bed rails that pose a risk of serious injury or death from entrapment and asphyxiation.
What Happened
Vive Health has issued a recall for two models of its adult portable bed rails because they violate mandatory federal safety standards. When the bed rails are attached to a bed, users can become entrapped within the rail itself or between the rail and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious risk of entrapment and death by asphyxiation. Additionally, the CPSC noted that the bed rails do not bear the required hazard warning labels.
Which Products Are Affected
This recall involves approximately 12,355 units of Vive Health Bed Rails. The following models are included:
- Model LVA1024: Features a white frame with a black handle. It measures 20 inches wide by 32 inches tall.
- Model LVA3031BLK: Features a black frame with a black handle. It measures 13 inches wide by 18 inches tall.
The products were sold online at Amazon.com and ViveHealth.com from August 2023 through December 2025 for between $45 and $80. Only bed rails purchased after August 21, 2023, are included in this recall.
What You Should Do
Consumers should stop using the recalled bed rails immediately. To receive a full refund, consumers must follow these steps:
- Write “RECALLED” on the upper and lower bedrails using a permanent marker.
- Take a photo of the marked bed rail with the buyer’s name written on a piece of paper in the frame.
- Email the photo to [email protected].
- Dispose of the product in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.
Consumers can contact Vive Health toll-free at 800-487-3808 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit vivehealth.com/pages/recalls for more information.
Why This Matters
The recall was initiated to prevent life-threatening incidents. While no injuries have been reported to date, the failure to meet mandatory safety standards for adult portable bed rails creates a significant risk of entrapment for users, which can lead to suffocation.
