Incident Overview

According to the CPSC report, the consumer purchased a Zinus Green Tea Mattress several years ago. After removing the mattress cover to wash it, the consumer noticed a significant amount of fibers coming off the mattress. Initially, the consumer believed the fibers were polyester.

The consumer later learned about widespread reports of fiberglass in Zinus mattresses. Concerned, the consumer began finding what appeared to be fiberglass fibers on the clothing and bedding of their young daughter, who has been experiencing unexplained and difficult-to-treat eczema. The child sleeps in the room where the mattress is located. The incident report is publicly available on SaferProducts.gov under Report ID 5939081.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: Fiberglass is composed of tiny glass fibers that can become airborne when the mattress cover is removed or damaged. These fibers can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon contact or inhalation. In this case, the fibers were found on the child's clothing and bedding, indicating potential ongoing exposure.

Long-Term Risks: Prolonged exposure to fiberglass can lead to chronic skin conditions, such as contact dermatitis, and respiratory issues if fibers are inhaled. The child's eczema may be exacerbated or caused by repeated contact with fiberglass particles.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone in the household, especially children, can be affected by fiberglass exposure. Children may be more vulnerable due to their developing skin and tendency to spend more time on floors and bedding where fibers accumulate.

Warning Signs: Visible fibers on bedding, clothing, or surfaces near the mattress, as well as unexplained skin irritation, itching, or respiratory symptoms, may indicate fiberglass release. The consumer noted that fibers became noticeable after the cover was removed.
