About This Product

The Vive Health bed rails are designed to secure a bed user and prevent falls. They attach to the bed frame and are used by adults who need bed-side rails for safety.

Why This Is Dangerous

If the rail traps a section of the user between the rail and mattress or within the rail itself, asphyxiation can occur. This is a life-threatening situation requiring immediate action.

Industry Context

This recall is not part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

The recall presents a clear safety risk for adults and elderly users who rely on bed rails for mobility and safety; a rapid refund and proper disposal are required.

Practical Guidance

How to identify if yours is affected

  1. Check if your Vive Health bed rail model matches LVA2009SLV, LVA2097SLV, or LVA1024.
  2. Verify purchase date to determine recall eligibility (on or before 2023-08-21 for LVA1024; earlier recall includes LVA2009SLV and LVA2097SLV).
  3. Look for silver or white metal tubing with a black foam grip; brands may be unlabeled.
