Nova Medical Products Bed Rail Recall – Class Action Lawsuit Lawyer
On December 22, 2022, around 20,000 units of adult bed rails by Nova Medical Products were recalled due to the possibility of entrapment between the rail and the side of the mattress. This can lead to asphyxiation, which is a condition in which the body is deprived of oxygen. The affected models are as follows:
- Nova Medical Products Home Bed Rail – model number 6093
- Nova Medical Products Home Bed Rail with legs – model number 6094.
Both model numbers, which start with the letters “BL,” can be found on the label that’s located on the grip handle. Consumers should stop using the bed rail immediately, according to Nova Medical Products. The company is offering a free repair or replacement of the product, which you can arrange by contacting them directly.
Before you do anything else, it’s essential to learn about your rights as an accident victim, which may include compensation such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and mental anguish. To learn about your rights and legal options, contact Normandie Law Firm to speak with one of our attorneys.

There are strict federal regulations regarding the sizing and construction of bed rails that are made for medical purposes. Failure to comply with these standards or defects with the product itself can cause a gap between the mattress and bed rail. Because the bed rails are positioned relatively close to your head, the possibility of asphyxiation is very high if a patient gets stuck between the bed rail and the mattress.
Asphyxiation is a life-threatening condition that can cause a variety or severe health complications, including:
- Loss of consciousness
- Brain damage
- Organ damage / failure
Death is another tragic consequence of asphyxiation, as the body will start to shut if it’s deprived of oxygen for even a few minutes. Loved ones of deceased victims may be entitled to wrongful death compensation, such as funeral expenses, reimbursement for medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. Contact our attorneys to learn more about the damages that may be available to you.
