Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports concerning Crayan mattresses marketed as “fiberglass free” or using similar representations suggesting that consumers are purchasing mattresses constructed without fiberglass fire barriers.
Consumers who purchase fiberglass-free mattresses often do so specifically to avoid the potential risks associated with fiberglass contamination. Marketing emphasizing fiberglass-free construction may therefore play a significant role in consumer purchasing decisions, particularly where alternative materials are promoted as safer options.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Purchasing Crayan mattresses because they were advertised as fiberglass free.
- Choosing the product to avoid fiberglass-containing mattresses.
- Relying on representations regarding safer construction materials.
- Difficulty determining the actual materials inside the mattress.
- Paying premium prices based upon fiberglass-free claims.
- Wanting laboratory confirmation of advertised product composition.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Representations that a mattress is fiberglass free concern objective product characteristics that consumers cannot readily verify before purchase. Consumers reasonably expect these statements to accurately describe the product’s internal fire barrier and construction materials.
This investigation seeks to determine whether Crayan mattresses marketed as fiberglass free contain fiberglass or other glass-fiber materials inconsistent with advertising. Independent laboratory testing may help determine whether consumers received products matching the representations made during marketing.
Potential Claims May Include
- False Advertising
- Consumer Protection
- Breach of Express Warranty
- Breach of Implied Warranty
- Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
- Unjust Enrichment
