Fiberglass Mattress Claims

Only until recently, Mattress companies are warning consumers of the risk of removing the outer cover of the mattress. However, because the cover has a zipper and because the tag of the mattress did not include a warning of the dangers of exposure to the glass fibers in the inner cover, people think it is safe to remove the outer cover for cleaning. Another way to get exposed to shards of glass from the mattress is if the covers rips open.

While fiberglass is not carcinogenic, it is extremely irritating to the eyes, skin, and lungs. Mattresses manufactured containing fiberglass use it as a fire retardant in their inner layer. The defectiveness of the mattress lies in the presence of a zipper on the outer cover of it, which indicates to the consumer that there is nothing wrong with removing it for laundering. The labels of their mattresses state that they contain fiberglass but fail to warn people against removing the outer cover so as not to expose the inner layer of fiberglass. 

Fiberglass mattress lawsuits are currently being filed

The reasons for filing a class-action lawsuit against mattress compaines that use fiberglass include the following: 

•  design defect
•  fraudulent concealment
•  gross negligence
•  failure to warn
•  unjust enrichment
•  breach of implied warranty

What’s the Danger of Fiberglass Mattresses?

If a mattress containing fiberglass, which is used as a fire retardant, has its cover removed, it’s possible that tiny fiberglass particles can be sent into the air and ultimately contaminate nearly every surface in the home. Side effects including coughing, eye itchiness and stomach upset have also been linked to fiberglass exposure.
