Mattress Recalls: Fire Safety Is the Primary Concern

Federal regulations require mattresses to meet open-flame fire resistance standards (16 CFR Part 1633). The CPSC has issued recalls when mattresses fail to meet these standards - either due to inadequate flame retardant materials or degraded fire barrier components. A mattress that fails this standard can contribute to faster fire spread in a bedroom.

While mattress recalls are less frequent than appliance or electronics recalls, the safety implications are serious - a recalled mattress with inadequate fire resistance is a hazard in the room where you sleep.

How to Check for Mattress Recalls

Visit cpsc.gov/recalls and search for your mattress brand under 'Bedding and Sleep Products' or 'Home and Garden.' Find your model name and size from the law tag (sewn into the mattress side near foot). Compare your model to any listed recall entries for your brand.

The CPSC also maintains a separate database of products that have failed federal flammability standards - separate from the recall database. Search both resources for complete coverage.
