Incident Overview

According to the CPSC report, a consumer purchased a Best Choice Products 10" Dual Layered Memory Foam Mattress Queen (ASIN: B01HFT4SL0) from Amazon in January 2020. After years of normal use as a sleep surface, the outer cover of the mattress deteriorated significantly through regular wear, exposing an inner fire barrier layer. Upon inspection, the consumer discovered that the inner cover contains fiberglass and was able to pull clear, rigid glass fiber strands directly from the mattress seam with bare hands.

The consumer reported that the product listing did not clearly disclose that fiberglass was used as a fire retardant material in the inner cover, nor did it warn that normal deterioration of the outer cover over time would result in fiberglass exposure. The product has since been removed from Amazon, suggesting awareness of the issue. The consumer has photographic documentation of the deteriorated outer cover, the exposed inner fiberglass layer, and individual glass fiber strands. No physical injury has been reported at this time, but the consumer expressed concern about long-term undetected exposure to airborne and contact fiberglass fibers, which is a known health hazard.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: Fiberglass is composed of tiny, sharp glass fibers that can become airborne when disturbed. Direct skin contact can cause mechanical irritation, itching, and redness. Inhalation may irritate the nose, throat, and lungs, leading to coughing or discomfort.

Long-Term Risks: Chronic exposure to airborne fiberglass fibers can lead to respiratory issues, including inflammation and scarring of lung tissue. While fiberglass is not classified as a carcinogen by all agencies, prolonged inhalation of respirable fibers is associated with potential health risks.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone sleeping on or near the mattress is at risk, especially children who spend more time on the floor and may have closer contact with the mattress surface. Household members who change bedding or clean the room may also be exposed to airborne fibers.

Warning Signs: Visible deterioration of the mattress outer cover, such as tearing, fraying, or thinning fabric, can precede fiberglass exposure. The presence of shiny, glass-like strands on the mattress surface or in bedding is a clear indicator that the fire barrier has been compromised.

What Our Clients Say

What Consumers Should Do

Stop Using Immediately: Cease use of the mattress to prevent further exposure to fiberglass fibers. Do not attempt to remove or repair the cover yourself, as this may release additional fibers into the air.

Preserve the Product: Keep the mattress in its current condition for potential inspection or testing. Do not discard it, as it may be needed for evidence.

Document the Incident: Take clear photographs of the deteriorated outer cover, any exposed inner layer, and any visible fiberglass strands. Save the original product listing details and purchase records.

Seek Medical Attention: If you experience persistent skin irritation, respiratory symptoms, or eye discomfort, consult a healthcare provider and mention potential fiberglass exposure.

Report to the CPSC: File a report with the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov if you have experienced a similar issue, to help identify broader safety concerns.
