Could there be fiberglass in your mattress? In recent years, fiberglass has been added to many mattresses as a flame retardant, but what if it escapes? That's what happened to one Illinois family.
Fiberglass often used in mattresses as a flame retardant. One local family said their Casper mattress leaked fiberglass, causing health reactions.
She was cleaning one of her Casper mattresses; the labels say you can remove the cover to clean it, so she did. Romy took to TikTok with her problem and reached out to Casper asking for compensation for the mattresses, carpet and furniture covered in fiberglass. Several weeks later, the family called the investigative team at our sister station WLS.
Consumer Product Safety Commission data shows more than 50 recent complaints about fiberglass in several types and brands of mattresses. "When people see a zipper, they assume that they can take the cover off and wash it, and that's one of the ways that the shards from the fiberglass and the mattress are leaking out of the mattress," she said.
