What happened

Primo International is recalling approximately 1,600 full-size futon mattresses (48 inches wide by 72 inches long) that were sold as part of sofa sets through furniture stores nationwide, including Rhodes Furniture, Olum's, Beiters, Raymour & Flannagan, Taft, and Furniture King, between January 1994 and August 1996 for about $350 to $400. The mattresses fail to meet federal flammability standards and could ignite and smolder, creating a risk of burn injuries or death from smoke inhalation.

According to the recall notice, no injuries have been reported involving these mattresses. Affected consumers should immediately stop using the futon mattresses and return them to the store where they were purchased for a free replacement futon mattress.
