http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2016/Bed-Handles-Inc-Reannounces-Recall-of-Adult-Portable-Bed-Handles-Following-Report-of-Fourth-Entrapment-Death/

 

****************************************************************************************************

 

Release Date: October 7, 2015

Release Number: 16-005

 

Bed Handles Inc. Reannounces Recall of Adult Portable Bed Handles Following Report of Fourth Entrapment Death; Less Than 1% Response Rate to Recall

 

Summary

 

Name of Product: October is National Window Covering Safety Month

 

Recall Summary

Name of Product: Portable bed handles

 

Hazard: When attached to an adult's bed without the use of safety retention straps, the handle can shift out of place, creating a dangerous gap between the bed handle and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious risk of entrapment, strangulation and death.

 

Remedy: Repair

 

Consumer Contact: Bed Handles Inc. at 800-725-6903 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at http://bedhandles.com/ and click on Recall Information at the bottom of the page for more information.

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Bed Handles Inc., of Blue Springs, Mo., are reannouncing the voluntary recall of about 113,000 adult portable bed handles following a fourth reported death.  A 90-year-old woman living in a senior residence in Castro Valley, Calif. died after being entrapped in the gap between her mattress and the bed handle.

When attached to an adult's bed without the use of safety retention straps, a handle can shift out of place creating a dangerous gap between the bed handle and the side of the mattress. This poses a serious risk of entrapment, strangulation and death.

As previously reported, three other women died after becoming entrapped between the mattress and the bed handles. They include an elderly woman, age unknown, who died in an Edina, Minn. assisted living facility; a 41-year-old disabled woman who died in a Renton, Wash. adult family home; and an 81-year-old woman who died in a Vancouver, Wash. managed care facility. 

The recall involves adult portable bed handles sold by Bed Handles, Inc. from 1994 through 2007 that do not have safety retention straps to secure the bed handle to the bed frame to keep the bed handle from shifting out of place and creating a dangerous gap.  Recalled models include the Original Bedside Assistant® (BA10W), the Travel Handles™ (BA11W) which is sold as a set of two bed handles, and the Adjustable Bedside Assistant® (AJ1).  

                The L-shaped bed handles are made out of ¾ inch tubular steel, measure 20 inches wide, 16 to 20 inches tall and have 3 ft. poles that extend under the mattress. The Original Bedside Assistant® (BA10W) and the Travel Handles™ (BA11W) have a white handle with white poles that go under the mattress. The Adjustable Bedside Assistant® (AJ1) is gold in color and has a black cushioned foam handle. The bed handles are intended to assist adults with getting in and out of bed by giving them a bar to grip. Bed Handles, Inc. and the model number are printed on a white label on the bed handles.

                They were sold by home health care stores, drug stores and medical equipment stores nationwide and in home and health care catalogs from January 1994 through December 2007 for about $100.  They were manufactured in the United States.

                Consumers should immediately stop using all recalled bed handles that were sold without safety retention straps. Contact Bed Handles, Inc. for free safety retention straps to secure the bed handle to the bed frame, new assembly and installation instructions for models BA10W, BA11W and AJ1 and a warning label to attach to the bed handles.  The bed handles should be used only with the safety retention straps securely in place attaching the bed handle to the bed frame in order to prevent a gap.

                Contact Bed Handles Inc. at 800-725-6903 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at http://bedhandles.com/recall.html.

            The previous recall was announced on May 20, 2014.

CDC Vital Signs: Breastfeeding Support Improves in Many U.S. Hospitals

VitalSigns This Month.
Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.

CDC
Saving Lives. Protecting People. TM
www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/heartage

Vital Signs Issue: October 2015

 

Breastfeeding Support Improves in Many U.S. Hospitals


Hospital support for breastfeeding has improved since 2007, according to the latest CDC Vital Signs report released today. The percentage of U.S. hospitals using a majority of the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, the global standard for hospital care to support breastfeeding, increased from approximately 29 percent in 2007 to 54 percent in 2013, a nearly two-fold increase over six years. Improved hospital care could increase rates of breastfeeding nationwide and contribute to healthier children.

 

“Breastfeeding has immense health benefits for babies and their mothers,” said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H.  “More hospitals are better supporting new moms to breastfeed -- every newborn should have the best possible start in life.”    

 

This Vital Signs report examined data from CDC’s national survey, Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC), which measures the percentage of U.S. hospitals with practices that are consistent with the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding. The Ten Steps are measures of a hospital’s breastfeeding support before, during, and after a mother’s hospital stay.

 

For more information about CDC’s work to improve hospital practices to support breastfeeding, visit www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding. For more information about breastfeeding rates, state programs and other activities to support breastfeeding, please visit www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/promotion.

 

  

Vital Signs is a CDC report that appears on the first Tuesday of the month as part of the CDC journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, or MMWR. The report provides the latest data and information on key health indicators. These are cancer prevention, obesity, tobacco use, motor vehicle passenger safety, prescription drug overdose, HIV/AIDS, alcohol use, healthcare-associated infections, cardiovascular health, teen pregnancy, and food safety.

 

Vital Signs is a monthly report that appears as part of the CDC journal, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
