Incident Details
  • Incident Description: I have been sleeping on a Zinus Spa Sensations Green Tea memory foam twin mattress for about 6 months off and on. I never removed the mattress cover. After coming across the class action lawsuit against Zinus due to exposure to fiberglass, I checked my bed, pillows and blankets for fiberglass. I discovered fibers sticking out of the mattress, in my pillows, and in all the blankets I was using. This is after only 6 months of use, and maybe earlier. I immediately disposed of the mattress and pillows, and I'm currently cleaning my room and blankets in hopes of getting rid of the fibers. This product needs to be banned. I feel I've gotten off relatively lightly with minimal itchiness, but I'm very worried about having been breathing fiberglass for the last 6 months while I sleep.
