Fiberglass.... looks kind of pretty, right? Not so much.
There have been more than 100 complaints to the Consumer Products Safety Commission from consumers experiencing sneezing, wheezing, itching and other negative health issues known to be from fiberglass particles that escaped from their mattresses. Fiberglass, glass and plastic, is used in some mattresses as flame retardant. It is cheap and currently not banned nationwide. Medical toxicologist, Kelly Johnson-arbor, MD has studied the issue and released data.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE MATTRESS COVER
A sufferer went to social media platforms to raise awareness to the effects of exposure to fiberglass. TikToker @heart.led (41.6K followers) posted a video in April explaining that she found out that when she took the cover off to try to clean it, there was fiberglass in her mattress. “Now there is fiberglass all over my apartment — every surface,” she says in the video which so far has been viewed 4.3 million times. She explained that she had to get rid of many of her belongings that had been contaminated with the fiberglass as a result.
