Plain-English summary

Serta International Mattress Co. is recalling approximately 6,100 zipper-covered foam core mattresses. The recalled products were sold in twin, full, queen, king, and California king sizes. These mattresses were manufactured between November 30, 2007, and May 20, 2008, and were sold at mattress retailers nationwide from December 2007 through May 2008 for up to $2,500.
