I purchased a Serta iComfort Genius from Sears March 1, 2013 from Sears. As required by Serta a mattress pad also has to be in place as well or you void your warranty. Which I did, I always do on every mattress I buy. I changed the decor in my room and purchased new color palate bedding. When I lifted my mattress to exchange bedskirt, I was horrified what I discovered. Mold was growing on the underneath of the mattress and on my bedskirt and boxspring. I have unexplained inflammation on my lung and my breathing has started to become very short and tightening when I exercise! I have doctors appointment tomorrow for new chest x-ray and to discuss my newly found culprit, I believe.

To whom it may concern, Issue: I have multiples baby textile duvet covers in my house I bought them last year and year before in IKEA via internet/ online order or in the store in New Haven, CT. Please note that duvet covers for children have to be redesign and recall immediately. I think they have very poor design. All duvet covers sold for children are unprotected. The below links represents few of duvet covers that I purchased and I have in my house and are or were sold in Ikea online and in the stores. Please refer to the attachments as well for different colors. 1. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10234249/ Number: 102.342.49 2. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10197478/ Article Number: 101.974.78 3. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10256397/ Article Number: 102.563.97 Please note that all of IKEAS’s duvet covers for children were sold without zipper/ buttons/ snaps that would protect child from strangulation/ choking hazard. Please note that: I have two kids in the house: 2 years old daughter and 5 months old son. My 5 months old son, [REDACTED] was left alone in the crib for few minutes at my house, in the crib was duvet cover and the pillow. In the duvet cover was comforter. When I went to the kitchen and got back his head was inside of the duvet cover. He was screaming and crying- looking for an air. Each of IKEA’s duvet covers has a hole-left that is use insert comforter. Duvet covers for children / babies sold either online in USA or in the store are unprotected and don’t include snaps/ zipper/ or buttons to close the comforter inside and protect any child around the globe. Duvet covers for adults sold in IKEA have snaps, I am not sure why for kids they don’t. If my child would be left for few more minutes could either suffocation himself or strangle himself. The incident that happened at my house could happened to my daughter who is 2 years old daughter as well because she can feat it.

A 5-month-old infant was found deceased by her mother in her crib when she was sleeping in/on a Turner Sling and Foam Wedge. (Product website: https://tucker-sling.myshopify.com/collections/tucker-sling-and-foam-wedge-combination). This sleeping wedge was reportedly provided to family by the Seattle Children's Hospital after they were born. The product appeared to have been used as intended (the infant was secured by the sling to the wedge), but information on possible injuries is still pending additional investigation and examination.

Fire Investigation determined a LaNoodle Cuddle Top Latex Topper was placed in dryer to fluff. Mattress topper was not washed prior to placement in dryer. Approximately 2-4 minutes later the dryer had heated the latex noodles of the product to the self ignition point which started a fire at rear of dryer (exhaust). As product was pulled smoldering from dryer the cotton cover ripped open and the latex noodles self ignited upon contact with more air. As the product was removed from the home, the noodles dropped starting spot fires from the dryer to the exterior of the house. Tenant received 2nd degree burns.

(05/26/2015)The consumer called the manufacturer and left a message. (05/24/2015) The consumer stated the first time that the topper was used, his wife woke up the next morning with a headache. His wife slept on the topper again and woke up stating that she was seeing things and hallucination. She also had a rapid heartbeat. Each time she would go in the same room as the topper, she would have problems. The consumer stated that he also had a rapid heart beat and breathing issues just by walking into the same room where the topper was located. The consumer nor his wife required medical attention.

I bought a Novaform gel memory foam 3 inch mattress topper from Costco three weeks ago. Since having the mattress topper on my bed I have experienced a sore throat, ringing in my ears, extreme fatigue, swollen eyes, loss of appetite and occasional heart pressure. At first I thought it a cold or mild flu but symptoms weren't subsiding. I am typically a very active, healthy woman in my 30's. I've been exceptionally tired and noticed red cherry hemanginomas suddenly appearing on my abdomen. I looked into the hemanginomas and bromine came up. From there I found that mattress toppers often times have bromine and other toxic chemicals. I subsequently found that many other people have these symptoms associated with memory foam.

I purchased a memory foam topper from Overstock.com, received on 14 April 2016. We purchased Comfort Dreams m-cool 4 inch memory foam mattress topper, manufactured by FXI in Auborn, Indiana. The product had no instructions but I assumed I had to to let it air out for several hours, which I did. After about 10 hours we placed it on our bed and slept on it. After two nights of sleeping on this topper, both my wife and I had headache, nausea, and light headedness and elevated diastolic blood pressure, which we assume is from the strong odor emitted from the memory foam topper. We called the manufacturer but they would not release any information about what type of chemicals might be emitted because it is "proprietary". I am concerned about what is emitted because I know there are carcinogens used in producing memory foam. I want to know if this product is hazardous to my health but the manufacturer doesn't seem interested in helping me with this.
