Which ones are recalled?

The recalled bed rest is designed to support a person sitting in bed. It is beige and consists of a back, two foldable armrests with a cup holder and massage controls, and a headrest with a reading light attached. “Imported by Brookstone Company” is printed on a tag attached to the bed rest. The massaging bed rest also provides heat at a single setting. A curly beige cord is attached to the back lower left corner of the bed rest. On some of the bed rests, “SKU NO: 431254” is printed on a round metal plate where the curly beige cord plugs into the bed rest. “Brookstone” is printed on the beige plug-in transformer that attaches to the beige cord.

About 35,500 units, as CPSC gives them.
