Futons
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The Standard Mattress Co. is recalling certain futons sold between May and October 1998 under the brand names Gold Bond, IKEA, and Verlo with model numbers 605, 608, 611, and 613. These futons may fail federal flammable fabric tests because the boric acid flame retardant inside them was not evenly distributed. If exposed to fire, these futons could catch fire more easily than intended, potentially causing burn injuries. The recalled futons come in various sizes including full, queen, twin, and king/chair, and are covered in natural-colored cotton/polyester fabric.
Consumers who purchased one of these futons should contact The Standard Mattress Co. directly by phone to obtain a free replacement futon. The company will not accept returns at retail stores, and replacements are only available through direct contact with the company. Consumers can identify whether they own a recalled futon by checking the permanently sewn-in label for the model number and brand name.
