Ceither Adult Portable Bed Rails Recall Class Action Lawsuit
On September 19, 2024, Inforce issued a recall for their Ceither Adult Portable Bed Rails. According to the recall (24-370), the product violates federal regulations for adult portable bed rails, and poses a severe entrapment risk and risk of death by asphyxiation. More specifically, when the recalled bed rails are attached to a bed, users can become entrapped either within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress. This recall affects approximately 1,170 units of the product.
The recalled product (ASIN: B09YRHCZY5) was sold to be used on adult beds. The railing is made out of black metal and black foam, and it measures approximately 12.5 inches wide with an adjustable heigh ranging from 30 to 42 inches. Only products purchased on or after August 21, 2023 are included in the recall.
The defective products were sold exclusively online at Amazon.com for approximately $40 from August 21, 2023 through August 2024.
Reportedly, no incidents or injuries have been reported.
The company is urging all affected consumers to immediately stop using the adult portable bed rails. They are offering refunds to consumers who email them a photo of the disposed product along with either a statement that they purchased the product on or after Augst 21, 2023 or an Amazon purchase receipt.
If a member of your family died due to entrapment or asphyxia related to the defective portable bed rails, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. You could have the right to pursue a claim under product liability law.

As mentioned above, the defective product is associated with risks of entrapment and asphyxiation. Victims may suffer sprains and strains, lacerations, fractures, scrapes, and bruises. If the entrapment is severe and asphyxiation occurs, victims may suffer crushing injuries, respiratory distress, cardiac arrest, brain damage, and more; victims may suffer fatal harm and die as a result of the entrapment/asphyxiation.

When it comes to recalls and defective products, class action claims and mass torts claims are very common; this is because a number of consumers can be harmed similarly. In general, participating in a class action lawsuit can be as simple as reaching out to a class action lawyer. Is there a class action lawsuit? Since no incidents/injuries have been reported, there is no class action yet. Can I file a class action lawsuit?
