Federal safety officials told consumers on Thursday, Nov. 12, to stop using Tomreky adult portable bed rails and dispose of them. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said someone can become trapped inside the rail or in a gap between the rail and the mattress. The warning covers about 8,103 rails.

How to identify the rail

Look for TOMREKY printed on a black storage pocket attached to the rail. The device has black tubing and black foam grips. It is about 13 inches wide and 16.5 inches high. The agency's notice includes a product photo. Amazon sold the rails from August 2023 to September 2026 for about $39.

CPSC says the rails fail federal safety requirements, including those for the strap that holds the rail in place. It listed no reported injuries. The agency said the retailer, Sky Peculiar, had not responded to its requests for a recall or a remedy.

If someone relies on the rail

CPSC asks owners to dispose of the rail and keep it out of resale and donation. If the rail helps someone get in and out of bed, ask their health care provider what other support is suitable. The FDA notes that the right choice depends on the person and that a rail must be compatible with the bed and mattress. Reports of injuries or defects can go to SaferProducts.gov.
