Associated Recall

Incident Details

Incident Description: I have purchased a signature sleep memory foam mattress from Amazon.com 3 years ago; about a month ago, I found out that there are clear, almost invisible sparkles coming out of it. After a call with manufacture, I discovered that these sparkles are fiberglass. They cause irritation to the skins when in contact and are extremely difficult to extract from fabrics. As result, I have to throw away tons of cloths, all my pillows, mattress covers, pillow covers, blankets. This product has caused undue financial and emotional stress to our family that includes one 6 month old baby. We don't know what potential health risks we are exposed of because of this product and from the review we see similar things have happened.

Comments from the Manufacturer/Private Labeler

Dorel Home Products (DHP) manufactures and imports products that meet federal and state mandatory regulations. In order for mattresses to meet federal flammability requirements, DHP uses physical fire retardant barriers, including barriers that use a continuous strand glass fiber / mod acrylic woven sock. These materials are used industry-wide on foam mattresses, and generally present no health concerns.
