21YOF COMPLAINS OF FOOT PAIN AFTER KICKING BED RAIL THIS MORNING, LWBS, NO DX

My 4-year-old's bed rail snapped when she leaned against it in her sleep, leaving 2 exposed, sharp metal edges.

In July 2011 I purchased two Regalo Blue Bed Rails for my twins beds. Since using them, on two separate occasions my son became trapped between the Regalo bed rail and the mattress. The first incident his head was stuck sideways, however the second incident he was stuck upside down. Again his head was trapped between the rail and the mattress.

Baby rails broke in half, sharp edges, could have resulted in suffocation or puncture wounds. I purchased padded baby/toddler bed rails designed to keep small children from falling out of bed. I assembled and attached to bed under mattress as instructed. Upon making the bed I noticed looseness and a gap from the bed. The rails had snapped and were breaking off under the mattress.

Sat on the bed and the rail frame snapped into two. We store things under our beds and would have been crushed if this would have happened when we were reaching underneath. The same product in the twin bunk beds was recalled for the same reason. Cottage Retreat is the style from Havertys. Havertys is unwilling to replace the rail because it was a queen size bed and not the twin.

Metal rod for safety rail on side of bed broke off and the rail turned and scratched my daughter. I had to remove the safety rail and metal rods from the bed in order to avoid further injury.

We purchased adult portable bed rail assist for my 89 year old father. One day, the assisted living facility he was living in called and asked us to remove it because they found him entangled in it one morning and had much difficulty freeing him from it. He suffered bruises and swelling. We received an email from Amazon today stating the bed rails have caused entanglement for other consumers and we should dispose of the rail.

My daughter and friend were sitting on bed when rail cracked about 3/4 of the way through. We heard a loud crash and the girls were screaming. It scared them. I had previously added reinforcements to the other bed rail because it was cracking.

The Elderly lady I care for got hung up on the bed rail. She was hanging face down with the center of her body caught on the rail. She was unable to get off and hung like that all night from 11pm until 11am. When I went to check on her she was stiff and cold. I called an ambulance and she was in the hospital 4 days and then in rehab. She is now in the nursing home. She was already in somewhat bad health but this incident hurt her so badly that she has not been able to return to her home.
