CPSC Recalls Xalirium Portable Bed Rails for Entrapment and Asphyxiation Risk

The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled approximately 200 usOpal Xalirium portable bed rails on October 15, 2026, due to entrapment and asphyxiation risk. The rails fail the federal mandatory safety standard for adult portable bed rails and are missing required hazard warning labels.

If you have these in your home — or if a grandparent, caregiver, or anyone else in your family uses them — stop use immediately and contact usOpal for a full refund. No injuries have been reported.

Why This Matters to Families

Portable bed rails are most commonly used by elderly adults or people with mobility concerns who need help getting in and out of bed safely. They're also sometimes used during overnight visits — when grandparents come to stay, or when families set up a bed for an older adult in a guest room.

The entrapment and asphyxiation risk associated with non-compliant bed rails is serious. Federal standards for adult portable bed rails exist specifically because older designs have caused fatalities. The Xalirium rails that are recalled lack the vertical bars inside the opening that modern standards require to prevent a person from slipping into the gap and becoming trapped.

What's Next

If you have Xalirium portable bed rails in your home, check whether they have vertical bars inside the opening. If they don't, they're covered by this recall. Stop using them and contact usOpal through Amazon or directly for a full refund. For the full recall notice, visit cpsc.gov/Recalls.
