One of the best selling mattress brands on Amazon is accused of being a health hazard in a newly filed lawsuit that alleges fiberglass in the product caused customers injury.
Zinus, a Tracy, California-based furniture company, is facing a class action lawsuit alleging that the material used in its ‘Green Tea’ mattress’ fire-resistant lining mix fiberglass with modacrylic can injure users. While the material is covered by a outer-lining, the suit says that because the company does not warn against removing that covering – which has a zipper to do so – it is liable for injury that comes as a result of it.
The suit ties the exposure to itchy and irritated skin, nausea, eye injury, respiratory infections and other lung problems and even shards of glass getting embedded in the skin. It also says that some who have been exposed to the fiberglass have been forced to trash furniture and clothing that have been exposed as the material can not later be removed.
