Plain-English summary

PBteen, a division of Williams-Sonoma Inc., is recalling about 3,000 mattresses sold as part of PBteen Ottoman Beds. The recall is prompted by the mattresses' failure to meet the mandatory federal open flame standard for mattresses, which poses a fire hazard to consumers.

The affected products are multifunctional ottomans that can be used to sit or sleep and can be turned into a twin-sized bed. They were sold with a cover in stone, navy, ivory, or pink. The ottoman cover has a tag that reads "PBteen" and a label with registration number CA-31586(TW). These items were sold through the PBteen catalog and website from August 2008 through November 2009 for about $300.

No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately contact PBteen to receive a free mattress cover that will bring the mattress into compliance with the flammability standard. For additional information, consumers can contact PBteen toll-free at (866) 472-3010 from 7 am to midnight ET, or visit the firm's website at www.pbteen.com.
