Tropical Bedding Recalls Mattress Sets for Fire Hazard

Plain-English summary

Tropical Bedding Mfg. of Caguas, Puerto Rico, is recalling approximately 15,000 mattress sets, including mattresses and mattresses with foundations. The recalled products include crib and bunkie mattresses without labels, as well as mattresses labeled "Classics," "Classics II," "Imagine," "Sweet Mysteries," "Treasures," or "Comfort Dream." The "Classics" model manufactured between August 2008 and April 2009 is not included in this recall.

The recall was initiated because the mattress sets fail to meet the mandatory federal open flame standard, which poses a fire hazard to consumers. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with these products.

The affected mattresses were sold at City Mattress and furniture stores in Puerto Rico from July 2007 through September 2009 for between $30 and $135. Consumers should stop using the mattresses immediately and return them to Tropical Bedding Mfg. for a refund. For additional information, consumers can contact Carmen Martinez at (787) 586-1139 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
