On February 12, 2026, Fortemotus Direct US issued a recall for their Fortemotus Adult Bed Rails. According to recall number 26-263, the recalled bed rails violate the mandatory safety standard for adult portable bed rails because consumers can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious entrapment hazard and a risk of death by asphyxiation. Further, the bed rails do not meet either structural stability or retention strap requirements, which poses a fall hazard. Finally, the bed rail’s push pins and push pin holes are not sized correctly, resulting in a laceration hazard.
The recall affects approximately 550 units.
The affected Fortemotus-branded adult portable bed rails specifically include those with model USFTMTJAS008. The recalled bed rails have black tubing with black foam rubber handle grips, support legs, and a fabric pouch. They measure approximately 30 inches wide by 30 inches high. The product has a fabric cover with the Foremotus logo printed on it. The model number is printed on the owner’s manual.
The recalled adult portable bed rails were sold online via Amazon.com from August 2025 through October 2025 for about $100 each.
According to the recall, no incidents or injuries have been reported.
Consumers affected by the recall are being urged to immediately stop using the recalled bed rails and contact the company for a refund. The company is also providing instructions on destroying the product and submitting proof.
