WeHwupe Adult Portable Bed Rails Recalled

ai-generated-8685102_1280-e1749420343976Recently, on May 29, 2025, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled WeHwupe Adult Portable Bed Rails. The reason for the recall was that the bed rails deviate from federal regulations for this type of product; in that deviation, they present serious risks of entrapment and death by asphyxiation. If your loved one was injured by entrapment or died due to asphyxiation because of the recalled WeHwupe bed rails, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group.

The WeHwupe branded adult portable bed rail, models BRX-8002 and BRX-8003, were recalled because when they’re attached to a bed, the person using the bed can get entrapped within the bed rail or between the side of the mattress and the bed rail. The bed rails also don’t carry the requisite warning labels. Around 94,800 bed rails made of white metal tubing with a gray foam rubber grip handle and including a fabric pouch were impacted. The WeHwupe company has gotten one report involving the BRX-8002 model bed rail. It broke while being used and caused the user to fall and get hurt.

Unfortunately, the bed rails themselves don’t carry the model number. Rather these are found only on the assembly instructions. The BRX-8002 is 22 inches wide and has an adjustable height between 1.8 – 21.5 inches. Meanwhile the BRX-8003 contains two support legs and has a height of between 20.2-22.6 inches and a width of 23.6 inches. Made in China, bed rails were sold online at Walmart.com and Amazon.com between September 2023-January 2025 for $33-$43.

The CPSC has asked consumers to cease usage of the recalled bed rails right away. It is possible to obtain a free replacement from the WeHwupe Store by removing the upper rail, writing recalled on the bottom and upper rails with permanent marker, cutting off the mesh bag, cutting the black safety strip, and taking a photo with your name written on a piece of paper next to the destroyed product and uploading it online at https://chunqushop.com/wehwupe-bed-rail-safety-recall. The product should be disposed of according to any local rules that apply. However, if you were injured by the bed rail, or a loved one was, you should call the experienced lawyers of Moll Law Group about next steps; the bed rails may be evidence necessary in a product liability lawsuit.

Product liability lawsuits may be brought when a defective product injures a consumer. Products, like bed rails, can be considered defective in terms of their manufacturing, design, or marketing. Typically, marketing defects involve failure to warn about dangers that the product presents. Manufacturing defects are usually one-offs—failures in how the product was made and deviations from the specs. Design defects tend to occur in every unit of the product. They’re flaws in how the product is supposed to be made.
