Fortemotus Direct Adult Portable Bed Rails Recalled for Entrapment and Asphyxiation Risk
What this means
Fortemotus Direct adult portable bed rails (model USFTMTJAS008) can trap users between the rail and mattress, creating a serious risk of asphyxiation and death. The rails also fail safety standards for stability and retention, and have incorrectly sized pins that can cause cuts.
- Stop using the bed rails immediately.
- Cut the foam padding from the handrails.
- Take a photo of the destroyed rails and email it to fortemotusofficial@outlook.com.
- Contact Fortemotus Direct US for a full refund.

The agency's original wording
The recalled bed rails violate the mandatory standard for adult portable bed rails because users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress, posing a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation. The bed rails do not meet structural stability or retention strap requirements, posing a fall hazard. The bed rails' push pins and push pin holes are incorrectly sized, posing a laceration hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled adult portable bed rails and contact Fortemotus Direct US for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the bed rails by cutting the handrails' foam padding, take a photo of the destroyed rails and send it to fortemotusofficial@outlook.com
