Beckford was seen elbowing Forde in the face during the second half of last night's League One match between Leeds and Millwall at Elland Road.
The forward, who score twice in United's 2-0 win, was shown a yellow card for the offence by referee Alan Wiley, and the Football Association initially announced that Wiley's original decision would stand, apparently ruling out further repercussions.
But the governing body are now reviewing Beckford's actions after receiving fresh information in Wiley's match report.
