Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that Coop Home Goods waterproof mattress protectors may allow liquids to penetrate the protective barrier despite being marketed as waterproof bedding designed to protect mattresses from spills, perspiration, accidents, and everyday moisture.
Consumers report that ordinary household spills seep through the protector and stain the mattress beneath. Others allege that waterproof performance declines after repeated laundering, even when the product is washed according to the manufacturer’s care instructions. Some consumers further report purchasing the protector specifically to preserve expensive mattress warranties, only to discover that staining occurred despite using the product.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Water and other liquids leaking through the protector.
- Mattresses becoming stained despite using waterproof protection.
- Waterproof backing deteriorating after repeated laundering.
- Moisture penetrating through seams or fitted corners.
- Waterproof performance declining sooner than expected.
- Paying to replace mattresses damaged after the protector failed.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Consumers purchase waterproof mattress protectors to safeguard expensive mattresses from accidents that could otherwise result in permanent staining or void manufacturer warranties. Products marketed as waterproof create the reasonable expectation that ordinary spills will not pass through to the mattress beneath.
Some consumers allege that Coop Home Goods waterproof protectors fail to provide the advertised level of protection, allowing liquids to reach the mattress even when the protector is properly installed and maintained. If true, consumers may incur substantial replacement costs while losing valuable mattress warranty coverage.
This investigation seeks to determine whether Coop Home Goods waterproof mattress protectors consistently perform as represented throughout normal household use.
