Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports concerning mattresses marketed under the Twolike brand as “fiberglass free” or using similar representations suggesting that the mattresses do not contain glass fibers or fiberglass fire barriers.
Consumers increasingly rely on “fiberglass-free” marketing when purchasing mattresses because of widespread publicity surrounding fiberglass contamination inside certain mattress models. Many consumers specifically seek out mattresses advertised as free of fiberglass in order to avoid the risk of glass fibers escaping into their homes if the mattress cover is damaged or removed. If mattresses marketed as fiberglass-free nevertheless contain fiberglass or glass-fiber fire barriers, consumers may have paid a premium for a product that was not as represented.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Purchasing the mattress specifically because it was advertised as fiberglass free.
- Marketing emphasizing safe materials and fiberglass-free construction.
- Difficulty determining the actual materials used inside the mattress.
- Concern that hidden fire barriers may differ from advertising claims.
- Uncertainty about whether removing or damaging the cover could expose internal fibers.
- Paying a premium for advertised fiberglass-free construction.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Consumers reasonably expect that mattresses advertised as “fiberglass free” do not contain fiberglass or other glass-fiber fire barriers that contradict those representations. Because the presence or absence of fiberglass is an objective characteristic, consumers can reasonably rely upon those statements when deciding which mattress to purchase.
This investigation seeks to determine whether Twolike mattresses marketed as fiberglass free accurately describe the materials used in their construction. Independent laboratory testing may determine whether these products contain fiberglass, glass fibers, or similar materials inconsistent with representations made to consumers at the point of sale.
