Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that SafeRest waterproof mattress protectors may permit liquids to penetrate the protective barrier despite being marketed as waterproof products designed to protect mattresses from spills, accidents, perspiration, and other everyday moisture.
Consumers report that ordinary spills seep through the protector and stain or damage the mattress underneath, sometimes voiding the mattress manufacturer’s warranty. Others report that waterproof performance deteriorates after relatively few wash cycles despite following the product’s care instructions.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Water or other liquids soaking through the protector during ordinary household use.
- Mattress stains developing despite using the protector.
- Waterproof performance declining after repeated washing.
- Leakage occurring around seams or fitted corners.
- Damage to expensive mattresses despite relying on waterproof protection.
- Mattress warranty claims being denied because of staining.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Consumers purchase waterproof mattress protectors to prevent spills and bodily fluids from reaching the mattress. SafeRest markets its protectors as waterproof products capable of protecting valuable mattresses from everyday accidents, giving consumers reason to expect reliable liquid protection under ordinary conditions.
Some consumers allege that liquids penetrate the protector despite proper installation and normal use, allowing moisture to stain the mattress beneath. Because many mattress warranties exclude stained mattresses, consumers may lose warranty protection in addition to suffering property damage if the protector does not perform as advertised.
This investigation seeks to determine whether certain SafeRest waterproof mattress protectors provide the level of liquid protection represented to consumers and whether their waterproof performance remains durable after ordinary laundering.
Potential Claims May Include
- False Advertising
- Consumer Protection
- Breach of Express Warranty
- Breach of Implied Warranty
- Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
- Unjust Enrichment
