Plain-English summary

Nipponflex, of Pompano Beach, Fla., is recalling approximately 400 units of its Smart Flex and Smart Care mattresses, including split models. The recalled products are white, feature an electric massage function controlled by a remote, and are manufactured in Brazil. The split mattresses consist of two single mattresses placed side by side to form a queen or king size bed. The brand name and model name are printed on a label on the side of the mattress.

The recall is being conducted because the mattresses fail to meet the mandatory federal flammability standard for mattresses, which poses a fire hazard. Nipponflex has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with the use of these products.

The mattresses were sold for between $2,000 and $7,000 through independent distributors via in-home sales in Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Utah, and Virginia from April 2014 through February 2015. Consumers should contact Nipponflex to obtain free mattress covers that will bring the mattress into compliance with the federal standard and protect against fire. Assistance with installation is available upon request.
