Portable bed handles
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Bed Handles Inc is recalling adult portable bed handles in three models (Original Bedside Assistant BA10W, Travel Handles BA11W, and Adjustable Bedside Assistant AJ1) that were sold without safety retention straps. When attached to a bed without these straps, the L-shaped steel handles can shift out of place and create a dangerous gap between the handle and mattress, which poses a risk of entrapment, strangulation, and death. The company has reported a fourth death associated with this hazard.
Consumers who own recalled bed handles should immediately stop using them. Affected consumers should contact Bed Handles, Inc. to receive free safety retention straps, new assembly and installation instructions, and a warning label. The handles should only be used with the safety retention straps securely fastened to the bed frame to prevent gaps.

When attached to an adult's bed without the use of safety retention straps, the handle can shift out of place, creating a dangerous gap between the bed handle and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious risk of entrapment, strangulation and death.
Consumers should immediately stop using all recalled bed handles that were sold without safety retention straps. Contact Bed Handles, Inc. for free safety retention straps to secure the bed handle to the bed frame, new assembly and installation instructions for models BA10W, BA11W and AJ1 and a warning label to attach to the bed handles. The bed handles should be used only with the safety retention straps securely in place attaching the bed handle to the bed frame in order to prevent a gap.
The recall involves adult portable bed handles that do not have safety retention straps to secure the bed handle to the bed frame to keep the bed handle from shifting out of place and creating a dangerous gap. Recalled models include the Original Bedside Assistant® (BA10W), the Travel Handles™ (BA11W) which is sold as a set of two bed handles, and the Adjustable Bedside Assistant® (AJ1). The L-shaped bed handles are made out of ¾ inch tubular steel, measure 20 inches wide, 16 to 20 inches tall and have 3 ft. poles that extend under the mattress. The Original Bedside Assistant® (BA10W) and the Travel Handles™ (BA11W) have a white handle with white poles that go under the mattress. The Adjustable Bedside Assistant® (AJ1) is gold in color and has a black cushioned foam handle. The bed handles are intended to assist adults with getting in and out of bed by giving them a bar to grip. Bed Handles, Inc. and the model number are printed on a white label on the bed handles.
