AmazonBasics Memory Foam Mattresses Recalled for Fire Hazard

Amazon is recalling about 15,300 AmazonBasics Memory Foam Mattresses sold between April 2020 and March 2021 because they fail to meet federal flammability standards, posing a fire hazard. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a failure to meet a federal flammability standard and poses a theoretical fire hazard, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported. This fits the rubric criterion for a voluntary precautionary recall with no reported harm, placing it in the Moderate category.

Plain-English summary

Amazon.com Services LLC is recalling AmazonBasics Memory Foam Mattresses in 10" and 12" sizes (available in twin, full, queen, king, and California king dimensions). The mattresses are white with "amazonbasics" printed on the foot panel and have a white federal label identifying "Amazon.com Services Inc." as the importer.

The mattresses fail to meet the mandatory federal flammability standard for mattresses, posing a fire hazard. About 15,300 units were sold through Amazon.com from April 2020 through March 2021 for between $150 and $450.

No injuries have been reported. Amazon is contacting all purchasers to arrange for direct shipment of a cover at no charge that will bring the mattresses into compliance.

Consumers can contact Amazon toll-free at 877-444-3765 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.amazonmattressrecall.expertinquiry.com for more information.
