The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that FXI is recalling Novaform ComfortGrande and DreamAway mattresses, which were sold exclusively at Costco, due to the risk of mold exposure.
According to the CPSC, the mattresses could have been exposed to water during the manufacturing process, allowing mold to grow, posing a health risk to people with compromised immune systems, damaged lungs, or who suffer from a mold allergy.
The recall involves 48,000 Novaform ComfortGrande 14-inch and Novaform DreamAway 8-inch mattresses.
The 14-inch ComfortGrande mattress has a blue base with “Novaform” printed in white letters. The DreamAway 8-Inch Mattress has a gray base with “Novaform” printed in white letters.
The item number is printed on the mattress box and on the attached legal label. Only mattresses manufactured at FXI’s San Bernardino, California, facility between January 2, 2023 and April 28, 2023 are included in the recall (see details of affected items here).
CPSC encourages consumers to contact FXI to receive a full refund or a free replacement mattress, including free delivery of the new mattress and pickup and disposal of the recalled mattress. Costco is contacting all known buyers directly.
The company has so far received 541 reports of mold on mattresses, and no personal injuries have been reported.
The mattresses involved were sold exclusively in Costco stores in the northwest United States and in the San Francisco Bay area and online at http://www.costco.com from January 2023 to June 2023, for between $150 and $750 dollars.
Affected customers can call toll-free at 888-886-2057 from 8 am to 8 pm ET, Monday through Friday, or online in the Product Pickup area.
