GhostBed Natural Mattresses Recalled Due to Fire Hazard
The mattresses fail to conform to federal flammability regulations
Innovative Bedding Solutions and SBL have recalled GhostBed Natural mattresses because the beds violate the smoldering-ignition requirements of the federal mattress flammability regulation, posing a fire hazard. A similar recall was recently issued for Sleep Technologies’ Eco Terra Hybrid Latex mattresses.
The regulation requires all mattresses sold in the U.S. to be tested for their ability to resist smoldering, lighting, or catching fire when a series of lit cigarettes are placed on a mattress during the course of safety testing. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
Details of the GhostBed Natural Mattress Recall
The recall: The recall covers 1,250 GhostBed Natural mattresses in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, split king, and California king sizes manufactured between June 2021 and March 2023. The mattresses are 12 inches thick and have an ivory quilted top panel and an ivory knit quilted side panel featuring horizontal lines. They are embroidered with a “GhostBed Natural” logo in black and green on the mattress cover. The model number on the recalled mattresses begins with “13GBNAT” or “Natural.” The model number and date of manufacture appear on the white label sewn into the seam of the mattress.
The risk: The mattresses violate the smoldering-ignition requirements of the federal mattress flammability regulation, posing a fire hazard.
Incidents/injuries: No injuries or incidents have yet been reported.
Where and when sold: GhostBed.com, GhostBedNatural.com, and other websites from June 2021 through March 2023. The mattress cost $1,200 to $2,500.
