Amazon recalls 100,000 mattresses over terrifying fire hazard... are you sleeping on one?

Amazon recalls 100,000 mattresses over terrifying fire hazard... are you sleeping on one?

Daily Mail​3 days ago

Around 100,000 Americans are sleeping on mattresses that fail to meet federal flammability standards.
Crayan, a mattress brand sold exclusively through Amazon, is offering full refunds to customers after its 10- and 12-inch models were found to violate US mattres regulations.
Federal regulators require mattresses to pass flammability tests to help prevent fires from spreading rapidly while people are asleep — a risk that can turn deadly in seconds if a bed ignites.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) posted a recall bulletin for the mattress on June 18. No injuries have been reported from the product.
The recall affects all Twin, Full, Queen, and King size mattresses sold between July 2022 and June 2024 for $100 to $200.
The mattresses were made in Japan and sold by a China-based company through Amazon's platform.
Each has a quilted white top, gray cotton sides, and 'Crayan' stitched into the foot of the bed.
Officials warn owners to stop using the product immediately.
Consumers should write the word 'Recalled' on the mattress's white surface, snap a photo, send it to crayan_service@hotmail.com, and then dispose of the mattress permanently.
Crayan is contacting all known buyers and is required to provide full refunds to verified customers.
Under federal law, it is illegal to resell or donate recalled products.
Despite its safety failure, Crayan's website claims its mattresses are 'free from harmful substances, making them safe for you and your loved ones.'
'We prioritize your health and safety above all.'
All of the products on the company's Amazon webpage are listed as 'currently unavailable.'
The mattresses received mixed reviews from verified Amazon shoppers, with multiple buyers complaining about new products carrying a weird smell.
'It's comfortable, good sleeping comfort, but it still smells strong after 3 days,' one mattress topper buyer said in their three-star rating.
Amazon's top boss, Andy Jassy, became CEO in July 2021 after running the company's tech-focused AWS network
'I hope they didn't use harmful preservatives like formaldehyde. Would like to know more about it.'
Amazon didn't immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
Amazon products recalled
The e-commerce giant has recently warned customers that dozens of products sold on its site have been recalled.
In early June, the company posted about three sink faucets that tested positive for lead.
Another 1.1 million phone chargers were recalled for a fire and explosion risk.
In March, over 90,000 battery pack phone cases were recalled for another burning risk.

Amazon is investing £40 billion in the UK over the next three years, boosting regional growth New fulfilment centres in Hull and Northampton will create at least 4,000 jobs by 2026 Two more warehouses planned for the East Midlands in 2027 will add thousands more roles Investment also includes upgrades to data centres, tech like drones, and Amazon's London HQ The move supports the government's 'levelling up' agenda, spreading innovation outside London Amazon is making a bold bet on Britain's regions, announcing a landmark £40 billion investment aimed at creating jobs and fuelling economic growth far beyond the traditional powerhouses of London and the South East. At the heart of the expansion are four new fulfilment centres – including confirmed sites in Hull and Northampton – which will bring at least 4,000 new roles by 2026. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Two more large-scale warehouse facilities are planned for the East Midlands in 2027, likely adding thousands more jobs, though the exact locations remain under wraps. But this isn't just about warehouses. Amazon's investment, which spans the next three years, also includes billions in data infrastructure, cutting-edge technologies like drones and robotics, improvements to staff wages and benefits, and a major upgrade to its London headquarters in Shoreditch. (Photo:) | Getty Images The scale and spread of the spending signals a new chapter in Amazon's UK strategy – one that aligns with the government's 'levelling up' agenda and sends a strong message to global investors: Britain, post-Brexit and amid political change, is still a key destination for innovation and growth. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called it a 'massive vote of confidence in the UK,' while Chancellor Rachel Reeves described it as a 'powerful endorsement of Britain's economic strengths.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Amazon CEO Andy Jassy emphasised the company's commitment to reaching every corner of the UK. He said: 'When Amazon invests, it's not only in London and the South East – we're bringing innovation and job creation to communities throughout England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.' What does it mean for the UK economy? With more than 75,000 already on its payroll, Amazon is one of the UK's largest private sector employers. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This new injection of funding not only strengthens its logistics network but also helps build long-term regional resilience by introducing high-tech jobs, skills training, and digital infrastructure in under-served areas. For Hull, Northampton, and the East Midlands, it means more than just jobs – it could mark the beginning of a deeper transformation, bringing global tech investment into areas historically overlooked. As the UK economy seeks stable ground and sustainable growth, this investment could provide a much-needed anchor. Are you struggling to make ends meet as costs continue to rise?

Silent tower fan with 'impressive cooling abilities' now 18% off on Amazon

"This is an excellent fan, it works exceptionally well to cool warm air. Levoit customer service is amazing." The nights can feel unbearably hot during summers in the UK, as our homes are built to keep the heat in, not out. But those struggling with the current hot weather may be in luck, as a top-rated silent tower fan is currently on a generous offer on Amazon. While the LEVOIT 25dB Silent Tower Fan usually retails at a steep £109.99, the gadget is currently 18 per cent off, slashing its price tag down to a more affordable £89.99. And with a 4.6 star rating out of a possible five, this fan is one of the best on the market. This 42-inch compact tower fan can cool an entire living space at speeds of up to 7.9m/s for all-day cooling comfort. With 12 speed options, it can adapt to different environments quickly and easily. The gadget's fan gears are meticulously designed for whisper-quiet operation, ensuring a noise level as low as 25dB, so there's no need to worry about it disrupting sleep. Speed and rotation can be easily controlled via the touch panel or the buttons on the remote control, which offers four modes (Auto/Turbo/Sleep/Normal). LEVOIT 25dB Silent Tower Fan £109.99 £89.99 Amazon Shop Product Description It also uses very little electricity, and its product description claims it uses half of the energy consumption of other models. The tower fan's wind direction can also be adjusted, allowing users to experience consistent horizontal airflow, with the option to adjust the direction up to 30° or down to 30°. Those browsing alternative tower fans may consider Argos' more affordable Bush White Tower Fan for just £30. Argos also offers the Dimplex DXMBCF Black Tower Fan, which is currently on offer from £85 down to £68. But the Amazon option has some glowing reviews. One happy shopper said: " The LEVOIT Tower Fan is an exceptional addition to any medium or large bedroom, standing at 42 inches and boasting a powerful airflow of 7.5m/s. "This fan is a true powerhouse, delivering impressive cooling capabilities while maintaining a whisper-quiet operation at just 25 dB, ensuring a peaceful environment for sleep or relaxation." Another said: "Great fan, had to buy a second one for my mum. The fan is quiet and powerful. I really like the auto function, where the fan manages the speed of the fan based on the room temp. Like other Levoit devices, well made and easy to use." Yet a less pleased shopper wrote: "Purchased in March - was working fine and was a good fan, however completely stopped working randomly and won't turn on now. Hasn't lasted long at all considering we only use it through the night." But another satisfied customer said: "This is an excellent fan, it works exceptionally well to cool warm air. Levoit customer service is amazing." The Levoit fan can be purchased here. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
