Amazon has recalled 100,000 mattresses because they pose a fatal fire hazard. Yes, mattresses are at risk of catching fire, just as you read. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the advisory, which has an impact on 100,000 mattresses under the Cravan brand. Although no victims have been reported as of yet, there is still a risk that many others could be hurt or possibly killed.
The manufacturer has acknowledged that these mattresses, which were offered for sale on Amazon.com from July 2022 to June 2024, do not adhere to federal flammability regulations, particularly those governing resistance to open flames.
Product recall details
The impacted Crayan mattresses, which come in twin, full, queen, and king sizes in thicknesses of 10 and 12 inches, were only offered for sale on Amazon.com from July 2022 to June 2024, as we previously stated.
What should buyers do?
Customers have been urged by the company to cease using the mattresses right away. In order to return a mattress, the user must write the term “Recalled” in large letters on the white top panel and email a photo of the mattress to the manufacturer’s official email address, crayan_service@hotmail.com, as proof. Customers will get a complete reimbursement once its disposal has been certified.
Where were they sold and how much did they cost?
These mattresses under the Crayan brand, which range in price from $100 to $220, were made in Japan and offered only on Amazon. They came in compressed boxes with sewed white labels that included the code WG/P Foundation, size, and fiber composition information.
No incidents so far but high risk
Even though there haven’t been any reports of fires or casualties yet, this tip should not be disregarded. Even on sites as big as Amazon, the fact that these products made it to market without passing the bare minimum of safety inspections exposes a concerning weakness in the verification process.
Amazon under scrutiny again
This is not the first time that safety flaws have led to product recalls on Amazon. The platform has already come under fire for permitting third parties to sell goods that don’t adhere to the law. Nevertheless, whenever authorities issue an alarm, the corporation often takes swift action.
What does the regulation say?
Mattresses in the US are required by law to pass certain flammability tests, particularly when exposed to direct flames. A mattress that fails these tests could ignite in a matter of seconds, posing a deadly risk, particularly while people are sleeping.
Key information: mattress data
All Crayan Mattress variations that fit the following criteria are impacted by the recall:
- Sizes: twin, full, queen and king
- Thickness: 10 and 12 inches
- Sales period: July 2022 June 2024
- Platform: Amazon
- Price: between $100 and $220
- Identification: sewn white label on the side
What now?
Although millions of people now shop on Amazon, not all of the products it sells—not even those from well-known brands—meet the necessary safety standards.
Since Amazon does not physically verify every item, a number of harmful or defective products have been found, such as the mattresses. This new recall highlights the products’ true safety. Because the goods marketed in this instance lacked the required safety precautions, over 100,000 lives may have been burned alive. Don’t take the chance and follow the return procedures if you purchased one of these mattresses; your home, your life, and everything else could be in jeopardy.
