100,000 Amazon Mattresses Recalled for Fire Death Risk

If you have a Crayan mattress from Amazon, get off it today. This could save your life.

On June 18, 2025, the CPSC recalled about 100,000 Crayan mattresses, and on October 9, 2025, it warned owners to stop using them immediately. The CPSC says they fail the federal open-flame flammability standard for mattresses.

That standard requires a mattress to keep the heat it releases below set limits during a 30-minute open-flame test, which gives people more time to wake up and get out. A candle or other open flame near the bed could start a fire while you sleep.

These mattresses were sold on Amazon from July 2022 through June 2024, so some families have had them in their homes for years.

The CPSC says no incidents or injuries have been reported. But it calls these mattresses a “deadly fire hazard” that could cause “serious injury or death.” A fire could start while you’re sleeping, and you might not wake up in time.

What You Must Do Now

Don’t wait. Don’t put it off until tomorrow. Act today:

1. Stop using it: The CPSC urges owners to stop using these mattresses immediately
2. Don’t pass it on: The CPSC warns not to sell or give away these mattresses
3. Mark your mattress: Write “DANGEROUS – RECALLED” on it with a big marker so no one else uses it
4. Take a picture: Photos of the mattress and its label can help if you report it to the CPSC
5. Get it out of your house: Dispose of it, as the CPSC urges
6. Report problems: If you had a safety incident, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov

This is not a small problem, and it’s not the government being extra careful. Your mattress should keep you safe while you sleep, not put you at risk.

Don’t wait. Get it out of your home today. Your life is worth more than any mattress.

Is Your Mattress One of the Dangerous Ones?

Only certain mattresses are part of this recall. You need to check if yours is one of them. About 100,000 of these mattresses were sold on Amazon.

The recalled mattresses were made in Japan and sold by Crayan Inc., a company based in China.

Here’s how to tell if you have a recalled mattress:

• Check the Brand Name: Look at the sides of your mattress. The sides should be gray. If you see “Crayan” written on the gray sides, you have a recalled mattress.
• Look at the Top: The top of the mattress (where you sleep) should be white. It looks quilted, like a blanket with squares sewn into it.
• Check How Thick It Is: The recalled mattresses are either 10 inches or 12 inches thick. Measure from the bottom to the top to see how thick yours is.
• Check the Size and Label: The recalled mattresses came in twin, full, queen and king sizes and were sold compressed in a box. A white label sewn onto the cover lists the fiber content, the size and “WG/P Foundation.”

These mattresses were only sold on Amazon.com, from July 2022 to June 2024. You could not buy them in stores or on other websites.

You don’t need to find your Amazon order or the box it came in. The mattress itself will tell you if it’s part of the recall. Just look for the things listed above.

If your mattress looks like what we described, stop sleeping on it right now and dispose of it. The CPSC says Crayan has been uncooperative with the recall, so don’t wait to hear from the company.

If you think your mattress might be one of the recalled ones, treat it as if it is.

Why Mattress Fire Safety Matters

All mattresses sold in America must pass a fire test. Testers expose the mattress to an open flame and measure how much heat it releases. A compliant mattress must stay below federal heat release limits during a 30-minute test. That gives you more time to wake up and get out safely.

The CPSC says these mattresses fail those requirements.

If a mattress catches fire, here’s what can happen:

The fire can spread from the mattress to your bedding and the rest of the room.

Deadly smoke fills the room. A burning mattress gives off poisonous gases, including carbon monoxide. Many fire deaths are caused by breathing smoke, not by the flames themselves.

You might pass out before you can escape. Then you can’t get away from the fire.

Mattress fires are extra dangerous because they can start while you’re sleeping. You’re not awake to see the fire start.

Here are some ways a bedroom fire can start:

• A candle falls over next to the bed
• A space heater gets too close to the mattress
• An electrical cord sparks
• Someone drops a lit match

A fire that starts while you sleep can be hard to escape, especially once smoke fills the room.

When the CPSC adopted its open-flame standard for mattresses, it estimated the rule could save as many as 270 lives a year. The standard limits the spread and intensity of a mattress fire, which gives people more time to escape.

If a mattress catches fire, the danger isn’t limited to the person in bed. The fire can spread to:

• Curtains and carpet in your room
• Other rooms in your house
• Other apartments if you live in an apartment building

Smoke can also spread through a building and harm people in other rooms.

This is one reason many mattress companies started using fiberglass in mattresses. Fiberglass helps stop fires, and it’s cheap. But loose glass fibers can irritate the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, which can happen if the cover thins or is removed. It’s also difficult to clean up escaped mattress fiberglass.

That’s why many shoppers look for fiberglass-free mattresses that still meet federal fire safety rules.

What to Do If Your Mattress Is Recalled

Finding out your mattress is dangerous can be scary. These are general steps that apply to most mattress recalls. For the Crayan recall, follow the CPSC’s advice above: stop using the mattress and dispose of it.

Step 1: Stop Sleeping on It Right Now

Get off your mattress today. When a mattress is recalled for a safety problem, it could hurt you or your family. Don’t sleep on it even one more night.

Step 2: Make Sure Your Mattress Is Really Recalled

Check if your mattress matches the recall. Look up the recall at CPSC.gov. You need to see if your mattress is the same as the recalled ones.

Here’s what to look for:

• The brand name (like “Crayan”)
• The model name or number
• When it was made
• Where you bought it

Find your mattress tag. Most mattresses have a tag sewn on them. Look on the sides or bottom of your mattress. The tag has important information about your mattress.

Step 3: Follow the Recall Notice’s Instructions

Check what the recall notice tells you to do. If it says to contact the company, it will tell you how to reach them. Usually there’s a phone number or website. For the Crayan recall, don’t wait on the company: the CPSC says the firm has been uncooperative and urges owners to dispose of the mattress.

If you do call a company about a recall, have these things ready:

• Your receipt (if you still have it)
• The information from the mattress tag
• When and where you bought the mattress

Step 4: Know What Help You Can Get

In many recalls, the company offers a remedy. The Crayan recall is different: the CPSC lists the remedy as “Dispose” and says the firm has been uncooperative. In other recalls, companies may offer:

• Full refund – They give you your money back
• Free replacement – They pick up your old mattress and bring you a new one
• Repair – They fix the problem with your mattress
• Store credit – They give you credit to spend on a different mattress

Step 5: Save All Your Papers

Keep everything. Save all papers about your mattress:

• Your receipt
• Warranty papers
• Emails from the company
• Letters about the recall

Take pictures. Use your phone to take photos of:

• Your whole mattress
• The tag with numbers and dates
• Any damage you can see

These pictures show the mattress is yours and can support a report to the CPSC.

Step 6: Find a Safe Place to Sleep

You need somewhere else to sleep tonight. Since you can’t use your recalled mattress, try these options:

• Sleep in a guest bedroom
• Use the couch
• Set up an air mattress
• Stay with family or friends
• Sleep on the floor with blankets (just for a few nights)

Step 7: Don’t Try to Fix It Yourself

Never try to repair a recalled mattress. Even if the problem looks small, don’t touch it. Recalled mattresses have serious safety problems.

If you try to fix it, you might:

• Make the problem worse
• Create new dangers
• Hurt yourself

Step 8: Report the Company If It Doesn’t Respond

In some recalls, getting a remedy can take time. If a company is not responding to you, report it to the CPSC. For the Crayan recall, the CPSC already says the firm has been uncooperative, so don’t wait on the company before getting the mattress out of your home.

Step 9: Know What Extra Help Some Companies Offer

In some recalls, the company will pay for extra costs, such as:

• Hotel rooms if you have nowhere to sleep
• Rental mattresses while you wait
• Moving costs to pick up your old mattress

Don’t count on this with Crayan, since the CPSC says the firm has been uncooperative.

Step 10: Get the Government Involved If Needed

If a company is ignoring you or not fixing the problem, contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

You can:

• Go to their website at CPSC.gov
• Call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772
• Report a safety problem at SaferProducts.gov

When a company won’t cooperate, the CPSC can warn the public, as it did with Crayan.

Remember: This Is About Your Safety

Dealing with a recalled mattress is a pain. But recalls happen to keep you safe, and acting fast protects your family.

Your safety is more important than any mattress. Don’t wait to get the mattress out of your home.

How Unsafe Mattresses Get Made

Some mattresses still reach buyers without meeting fire safety rules that have been in place for years. Imported mattresses must meet the same federal open-flame standard as those made in the US.

Problems with Online Mattress Sales

Many mattresses are now sold online and shipped in boxes. This has made buying a mattress easier and cheaper for many people. But it has also created new safety problems.

Some companies that sell mattresses online don’t do enough safety testing. They might use factories in other countries where it’s harder to check if the mattresses are safe. When mattresses are sold online, they don’t go through stores where someone might catch safety problems.

Recent Mattress Recalls Show Patterns

Aside from this recall of Crayan mattresses, there’s also been a recent recall of Oliver & Smith mattresses that didn’t meet federal flammability standards. Both were sold online.

As we mentioned, every mattress sold in America must pass a fire safety test. The mattress is exposed to a pair of propane burners and must stay below set heat release limits during a 30-minute test. The current open-flame rule applies to mattresses made on or after July 1, 2007.

These rules matter because they limit the spread and intensity of a mattress fire. People who are sleeping might not wake up in time to get out safely. That’s why every mattress must pass this test before it can be sold.

It’s not just fire safety either. In 2023, about 48,000 mattresses sold at Costco were recalled because they could contain mold.

The manufacturer, FXI, received 541 reports of mold on those mattresses, and no injuries were reported. The CPSC says the mold could pose a health risk to people with weakened immune systems, damaged lungs, or mold allergies.

Why Safety Testing Costs Money

Testing mattresses for fire safety requires special equipment and labs. This costs a lot of money. Some companies try to save money by skipping these important tests or not doing them properly.

The government works to catch these companies and recall noncompliant mattresses. But new sellers keep entering the market, so it’s an ongoing job.

How to Protect Yourself

When buying a mattress, stick with companies that have been around for a long time and have good safety records. It doesn’t matter if you buy online or in a store. What matters is that the company takes safety seriously.

Always check that your mattress has the right safety labels. If you’re not sure, you can look up the company online or check the government’s recall website at CPSC.gov.

Remember, a cheaper mattress isn’t worth it if it puts your family at risk.

FAQs

Can I throw my recalled mattress in the trash?

Don’t put a recalled mattress in your regular garbage. Most cities have special rules for getting rid of big items like mattresses.

When a mattress gets recalled, the company that made it usually tells you how to get rid of it safely. For the Crayan recall, the CPSC says the firm has been uncooperative, so don’t count on the company for help. Contact your city’s trash pickup service to learn the right way to throw it away, and don’t sell it or give it away.

What laws keep me safe from dangerous mattresses?

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) sets the federal safety rules mattresses must follow. It can also recall dangerous mattresses and warn the public about them.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also helps protect you. It makes sure companies tell the truth when they advertise how safe their mattresses are.

Your state might have extra laws to protect you too. These laws can help you get your money back if you buy a mattress that doesn’t work right or is unsafe.

Why do mattresses get recalled?

Fire safety is one of the most common reasons mattresses get recalled. Federal rules require mattresses to resist ignition from cigarettes and to limit how much heat they release when exposed to an open flame.

Mold is another reason. Mold can pose a health risk, especially to people with weakened immune systems, damaged lungs, or mold allergies.

Other reasons include mattresses that break apart and become dangerous, or parts that create a safety hazard.

What safety labels should I look for when buying a mattress?

For foam mattresses, look for “CertiPUR-US” on the label. This means the foam doesn’t have dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde or heavy metals.

“GREENGUARD Gold” is another good label to find. This means the mattress has been tested for low chemical emissions into your bedroom air.

If you want organic mattresses, look for “GOTS” for organic cotton and wool parts. “OEKO-TEX Standard 100” means the fabric has been tested for harmful chemicals.

How can I find out about mattress recalls?

The best place to check is CPSC.gov. This is the government website that lists recalled products, including mattresses. You can sign up to get emails when new recalls happen.

Many mattress companies also let you register your mattress on their website. Then they can email you if there’s ever a problem with your specific mattress.

You can also watch the news or check websites like Consumer Reports. They often write about big recalls when they happen.

How often do mattress recalls happen?

Mattress recalls don’t happen very often. Usually only a few mattress recalls are announced each year in the United States.

The government handles many product recalls every month, but most of them involve other products, like toys or cars.

But when a mattress does get recalled, it can affect a lot of people. This recall alone covers about 100,000 mattresses.

Why does it take so long for dangerous mattresses to get recalled?

Problems with mattresses don’t always show up right away. Issues like mold or breaking apart can take months or years to appear.

The government needs evidence before it can push for a recall, such as test results or reports from consumers. It also has to work with the company, and some companies don’t cooperate.

It’s also hard work to recall a large number of mattresses. The government and companies have to figure out which mattresses are affected, what owners should do, and how to reach people who bought them years ago.

Conclusion

Your mattress should keep you safe while you sleep. It should not be a fire hazard in your bedroom.

If you have a Crayan mattress from Amazon, get off it today. Don’t wait until tomorrow, and don’t assume you’ll be fine for one more night.

Every night you sleep on a recalled mattress puts you at risk. A tipped candle or other open flame near the bed could start a dangerous fire.
