Over 15,000 recalled mattresses sold only on Amazon don’t meet flammability standards
Nobody wants to wake up in a burning bed. That’s why Amazon recalled about 15,300 AmazonBasics Memory Foam Mattresses.
The exact problem, as stated in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice: “The mattresses fail to meet the mandatory federal flammability standard for mattresses, posing a fire hazard.”
According to Amazon, this problem hasn’t flared up yet.
This covers 10-inch and 12-inch mattresses in twin, full, queen, king and California king sizes. They were sold on Amazon.com from April 2020 through March 2021.
Customers should reach out to Amazon for a cover to put on the mattress to bring it into safety compliance. For that or for any questions, contact Amazon either online or at 877-444-3765, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Eastern time.
