Medline Updates Customers and Patients on Repair and Replace Program for Recall of Medline Brand Beds, Rails, Mattresses and Accessories

Reported by FDA Recalls · November 13 at 8:23 PM · Summary by Dew & Balm

Medline has recalled all of its brand beds, rails, mattresses and accessories sold in the United States and Canada from 2011 to 2026, citing fire and entrapment risks. As of November 8, 2026, the company had received reports of seven deaths and 35 serious injuries linked to the products. Medline is offering repair, replacement, or full or partial refunds.

Background

A recall of this kind typically means a product is considered a risk of serious injury or death, and the manufacturer must notify buyers and offer a remedy. Entrapment risks in hospital and home beds usually involve gaps where a person's head, neck or body can become trapped between a rail, mattress or frame. Recalled medical equipment often stays in use under interim instructions until a repair or replacement is completed.

Why it matters

Bed and mattress components are not skin care, but this notice matters to anyone who buys or uses medical or personal care equipment and wants to know which products are involved.

What you can do

Check whether any Medline bed, rail, mattress or accessory is in use at home or in a care facility, and note its product SKU. Contact Medline Recall Customer Service at 800-950-0128, option 7, to confirm eligibility for repair or replacement.
