CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio — Mattresses that come in a box have been quite popular in the past few years offering affordable options for your bedroom. However, some have a potential hidden danger inside.
The “it” is fiberglass that’s used as a flame retardant in the mattress. The women said particles somehow leaked out of the mattress’s sewn-on cover. “Actually in my mouth, which was terribly uncomfortable,” said Jamie. “It’s really gross and it tastes awful.”“When the light kind of catches it, it will reflect it back. But when it’s not on it anymore, it kind of disappears and you can’t see it anymore at all,” said Jessica.While their situation is rare, it is happening in some cases across the country. Class action lawsuits show some “affected mattresses contain a removable outer cover which may be removed by a zipper.
“Those may actually may have potential of greater adverse effects than the fiberglass itself,” said Rosenberg.Jamie and Jessica were left with a massive clean-up in their home, including getting rid of stuff that belonged to Jamie’s daughter.
