The zipper on the outer cover of mattresses is what makes the products defective
The majority of Ashley and Nectar mattresses have 62% fiberglass in their inner layer as a fire retardant. In 2007, a law requiring that every mattress sold in the United States must have a fire retardant came into effect.
While there are many safe alternatives to fiberglass, such as wool, latex, and rayon, numerous companies decide to use it, as it is cheap and widely available.
Nevertheless, the main issue of the mattresses, as well as what makes these products defective, is the presence of a zipper on the outer cover, which indicates to the consumer that they can remove it for laundering.
When someone takes off the outer cover of a mattress that contains fiberglass for washing, the inner layer of it, which is made of fiberglass, becomes exposed, and it can easily release dangerous particles and shards into the room. For this reason, property damage due to fiberglass contamination can occur, and people often experience mild to serious injuries as a result of fiberglass exposure. If you own a mattress and your home was damaged by the fiberglass in it, or your health was affected by this material, we advise you to reach out to our experienced attorneys, who will help you file a claim with Ashley or Nectar.
