Plain-English summary

L&F International Trade of Beltsville, Md., is recalling about 1,000 renovated twin, full, queen, and king-size mattresses and mattresses with foundations. The used mattresses were stripped to the springs and rebuilt by the company. The recalled products feature an ivory knit fabric cover with a botanical pattern and a yellow tag printed with the company's name and address.

The mattresses fail to meet the mandatory federal open flame standard for mattresses, which poses a fire hazard to consumers. No injuries have been reported in connection with the recalled products.

The mattresses were sold at Best Buy Furniture in Takoma Park, Md.; Capital Discount in Washington, D.C.; Carolina Furniture in Hyattsville, Md.; Easy Buy Furniture in Washington, D.C.; and Value Furniture in Bladensburg, Md., from November 2011 through July 2012 for about $100.
