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.

The government just said 100,000 Crayan mattresses are deadly. These mattresses can catch fire in seconds. They don’t follow basic safety rules that protect people from bedroom fires.

Normal mattresses are supposed to fight off fire for 30 minutes. That gives you time to wake up and get out. But these bad mattresses catch fire right away. A cigarette, a candle, or a broken lamp could set your bed on fire while you sleep.

These mattresses were sold on Amazon from 2022 to 2024. They cost between $100 and $220. Some families have had them in their homes for three years.

No one has died yet, but that’s just luck. The government says these mattresses are a “deadly fire hazard.” They could cause “serious injury or death.”

The only reason no one has gotten hurt is that the right bad thing hasn’t happened yet. But it could happen any night. 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 think about it tomorrow. Act today:

1. Call Crayan right now: 779-605-4458
2. Email them: crayan_service@hotmail.com
3. Get your money back: They will give you all your money back
4. Mark your mattress: Write “DANGEROUS – RECALLED” on it with a big marker
5. Take a picture: You might need proof later
6. Get it out of your house: Don’t sleep on it one more night

This is not a small problem. And this is not the government being extra careful. This is them trying to stop people from dying in fires. Your mattress should keep you safe while you sleep. It should not be something that could kill you.

Don’t wait. Call 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 people bought these dangerous mattresses on Amazon.

The bad mattresses were made in Japan but sold by a Chinese company called Crayan Inc. They only sold them on Amazon, nowhere else.

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. This white top feels soft when you touch it.
• Check How Thick It Is: The recalled mattresses is either 10 inches thick or 12 inches thick. Measure from the bottom to the top to see how thick yours is.

These mattresses were only sold on Amazon.com. You could not buy them in stores or on other websites.

They were sold from July 2022 to June 2024. That’s two full years. Some people have had these mattresses for almost three years.

The mattresses cost between $100 and $220. They were cheap compared to other mattresses, which is why many people bought them.

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

If your mattress looks like what we described, stop sleeping on it right now. It’s one of the dangerous ones that can catch fire. Call the company immediately to get your money back and get it out of your house.

Your safety is more important than worrying about whether you have the right mattress. If you think it might be one of the recalled ones, treat it like it is dangerous.

Why Mattress Fire Safety Matters

All mattresses sold in America must pass a fire test. They put a flame on the mattress and see how long it takes to catch fire. Good mattresses resist fire for at least 30 minutes. That gives you time to wake up and get out safely.

But these bad mattresses catch fire right away. They fail the test completely. A small flame can turn your whole mattress into a fireball in seconds.

When these mattresses catch fire, terrible things happen very fast:

The mattress burns super hot. The fire can get as hot as 1,000 degrees. That’s hot enough to melt metal.

Deadly smoke fills the room. The burning mattress makes poisonous gases. These gases include carbon monoxide and other poisons that can kill you. Many people die from breathing this smoke, not from the fire itself.

You might pass out before you can escape. The poisonous smoke can make you unconscious in seconds. Then you can’t run away from the fire.

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

Here’s how a bedroom fire usually starts:

• 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

By the time your smoke alarm goes off, the fire might already be huge. The room might be full of deadly smoke. You might not be able to get out.

Before the government made fire safety rules, about 300 people died every year from mattress fires. The fires spread so fast that people only had 3 minutes to get out once the fire started.

Most people didn’t die from burns. They died from breathing the poisonous smoke. The smoke knocked them out before they could escape.

When your mattress catches fire, it doesn’t just hurt you. 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

The poisonous smoke can travel through air vents and hurt people in other parts of the building.

This is one reason why many mattress companies started putting fiberglass in mattresses. Fiberglass helps stop fires, and it’s cheap. But fiberglass is also bad for you if you breathe it in, which happens if the cover thins or is removed. Furthermore, it’s difficult to clean up escaped mattress fiberglass.

Companies were trying to make mattresses safer from fire, but they created a different health problem. That’s why it’s so important to buy fiberglass-free mattresses from companies that care about all kinds of safety.

What to Do If Your Mattress Is Recalled

Finding out your mattress is dangerous can be scary. But if you follow these steps, you can stay safe and get help.

Step 1: Stop Sleeping on It Right Now

Get off your mattress today. When the government says a mattress is recalled, it means it’s not safe. Something about your mattress 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 online or check the news. You need to see if your mattress is the same as the dangerous 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. Every mattress has a white tag sewn on it. Look on the sides or bottom of your mattress. This tag has all the important information about your mattress.

Step 3: Call the Company Right Away

Contact the mattress company now. The recall notice will tell you how to reach them. Usually there’s a phone number or website.

Have these things ready when you call:

• 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

The company should help you. When there’s a recall, companies usually offer:

• Full refund – They give you all your money back
• Free replacement – They pick up your old mattress and bring you a new safe one
• Repair – They fix the problem with your mattress
• Store credit – They give you money 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 prove the mattress is yours and help you get help faster.

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. Only experts should handle them.

If you try to fix it, you might:

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

Step 8: Keep Calling If You Need To

Be patient but don’t give up. Getting your mattress problem fixed might take time. The company has to help lots of people at once.

If the company doesn’t call you back in a few days, call them again. Keep calling until they help you. They have to fix recall problems. It’s the law.

Step 9: Ask About Extra Help

See what else the company will pay for. Some companies will help with:

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

Ask what they offer. You might get more help than you think.

Step 10: Get the Government Involved If Needed

Call for help if the company won’t help you. If the 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 them on the phone
• File a complaint online

The government can make companies do the right thing.

Remember: This Is About Your Safety

Dealing with a recalled mattress is a pain. But recalls happen to keep you safe. Acting fast will protect your family and get your mattress problem solved.

Your safety is more important than any mattress. Don’t wait – start making these calls today.

How Unsafe Mattresses Get Made

Mattress recalls are becoming a bigger problem in America. Many companies are having trouble making mattresses that meet basic fire safety rules that have been around for many years.

The government is finding more and more dangerous mattresses, especially ones made in other countries. This is scary because we sleep on our mattresses for about 8 hours every night – that’s one-third of our whole lives.

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 couldn’t meet flammability safety standards. This shows that some companies are making the same mistakes over and over.

As we mentioned, every mattress sold in America must pass a fire safety test. The mattress has to resist catching fire from an open flame for at least 30 minutes. This rule exists because mattress fires used to kill hundreds of people every year back in the 1970s and 1980s.

These rules are really important because mattress fires spread super fast. People who are sleeping might not wake up in time to get out safely. That’s why every single mattress must pass this test before it can be sold.

It’s not just fire safety either. In 2023, 48,000 mattresses sold at Costco had to be recalled because they had mold growing on them.

Over 500 people complained about seeing mold on their mattresses. This mold can make people very sick, especially if they already have breathing problems or are allergic to mold.

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 is working hard to catch these companies and force them to recall dangerous mattresses. But it’s an ongoing battle because new companies keep trying to cut corners on safety.

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. Your safety is more important than saving a few dollars.

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. They might even pick it up for free. Call the company first to ask what to do. If they can’t help, contact your city’s trash pickup service to learn the right way to throw it away.

What laws keep me safe from dangerous mattresses?

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) makes sure mattresses are safe. This government group can force companies to recall dangerous mattresses and sets safety rules that all mattresses must follow.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also helps protect you. They make 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 the biggest reason mattresses get recalled. All mattresses must be hard to catch fire from cigarettes or open flames. If they burn too easily, people can die in bedroom fires.

Mold is another big problem. Mold can make you very sick, especially if you already have breathing problems or allergies.

Other reasons include mattresses that break apart and become dangerous, bad smells from toxic chemicals, and mattresses that fall apart too quickly.

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 and won’t put harmful chemicals into your bedroom air. It’s extra safe for kids and pregnant women.

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 all 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’ll 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 mattresses get recalled each year in the whole United States.

The government handles dozens of product recalls every month, but most of these are other things like toys or cars. Mattresses don’t get recalled as much because companies have good safety rules and test their products.

But when a mattress does get recalled, it affects a lot of people. This is because companies make millions of the same mattress and sell them everywhere.

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, bad chemicals, or breaking apart can take months or years to happen.

The government needs lots of proof before they can force a recall. They have to collect complaints from many people, do tests, and talk with the company. Companies often don’t want to recall their products, so this can take a long time.

It’s also hard work to recall millions of mattresses. The government and companies have to figure out which mattresses are dangerous, how to fix the problem, and how to tell people who bought the mattresses years ago.

Conclusion

Your mattress should keep you safe while you sleep. It should not be a fire bomb waiting to go off in your bedroom.

If you have a Crayan mattress from Amazon, get off it today. Don’t wait until tomorrow. Don’t think you’ll be fine for one more night. People have died in mattress fires in less than 3 minutes.

This isn’t about being careful. This isn’t about maybe getting hurt. This is about staying alive.

Every night you sleep on a recalled mattress, you’re playing with fire – literally. One dropped cigarette, one tipped candle, one broken electrical cord could turn your bedroom into a death trap.
