Help! I own a Zinus Mattress

Do you own a Zinus mattress or another fiberglass mattress? Then you could have brought a hazard into your home masquerading as a soft place to rest! 

Zinus mattresses are made with fiberglass. Fiberglass is sometimes used by manufacturers as a fire retardant, but Zinus LLC has created a mattress that we at Cueto Law believe is defectively designed.

The design of the mattress has caused many consumers’ homes to be contaminated by the fiberglass from their mattresses. 

When consumers removed the zippable mattress cover to wash it, fiberglass was released into their homes.

What is the problem with Fiberglass?

Fiberglass can cause health problems and the destruction of property. 

Families who have suffered from fiberglass contamination have to throw out anything they own that can be soft and have even had to pay to have their homes professionally cleaned. 

They have to pay large sums of money to replace these items, including medical bills.

Common health concerns include

  • Rashes on skin
  • Eye irritation
  • Soreness of the nose and throat
  • Stomach irritation
  • Bronchitis and Asthma from long-term exposure

What if I own a Zinus Mattress?

If you own a Zinus mattress that has not contaminated your home with fiberglass, we do not recommend throwing it away.

Disposing of the mattress could be throwing away evidence and could cost you the chance of getting compensated.

You can still be part of the lawsuit against Zinus, which is why we do not recommend throwing the mattress away. 

Do not remove the zippable cover!

Instead, you should cease using the mattress and wrap it with tape and heavy plastic. Plainly mark your Zinus Mattress as a hazard so no one accidentally uses it.

Additionally keep any proof of purchase, such as invoices and receipts.

And if it starts leaking?

Check the wrapping you put on the mattress regularly to make sure children or pets have not disturbed it. 

Be aware that even if you do not unzip the cover your home can still become contaminated. In the event that does happen, you can download our free checklist on how to deal with fiberglass contamination.

Glitter or Glass?

Have you noticed a strange glitter-like substance all over your home? Does your family’s skin itch or are you coughing? Well, we hate to be the ones to tell you this, but that’s not glitter. It’s glass! 

If your home is covered in tiny bits of glass that sparkle like glitter, that’s a clear sign that your home has been contaminated by fiberglass.

What is Fiberglass?

Fiberglass is small, almost microscopic, piece of glass that many manufacturers use as a fire retardant. It’s so small many people mistake the shards of glass for glitter.

How did it get into my home?

The most common source of fiberglass contamination we hear about here at Cueto Law is from fiberglass mattresses. 

Zinus is the most well-known mattress brand with fiberglass in it. Our clients experienced contamination when the zippable cover of their mattress was removed or damaged. 

However, any mattress with fiberglass poses a risk to your health. 

We are currently accepting clients who have been harmed by their Zinus mattress or any other brand.

Are there health concerns?

When you first discover that glass masquerading as glitter, you might be concerned about touching it or breathing it in. And you should be!

Prolonged exposure can lead to many many different medical problems, including 

  • Rashes on skin

Is it expensive to clean?

Yes, and just like glitter, fiberglass has a knack for getting everywhere. 

Professional cleaners are not cheap, and expenses can be burdensome. That is why we at Cueto Law are fighting to get our clients compensation for what we believe to be design flaws in these bed-in-the-box mattresses.

Your bed is supposed to be a place of sanctuary, somewhere to rest and relax. However, if you purchased a Zinus mattress you might have purchased a bed of nightmares. 

Zinus mattresses contain a substance known as fiberglass. Many companies use fiberglass to meet fire retardant manufacturing standards. The fiberglass is never meant to be noticed by the consumer.

By simply unzipping a mattress cover to wash, our clients unknowingly unleash glass all over their homes, causing serious risks to their health.

Fiberglass and Your Home

Your home probably makes you feel safe and comfortable. It is your sanctuary and where you like to relax to at the end of the day. For most of us, it’s the only place we can feel safe. Sadly, your mattress can upset that wonderful paradise you’ve built. If fiberglass gets in your home it can turn your world upside down.

Fiberglass is small, almost invisible pieces of glass. There has been a recent trend of manufacturers using it as a fire retardant in mattresses. However, due to what we at Cueto Law believe to be design flaws, these mattresses are contaminating consumers’ homes. 

The most well-known case is Zinus mattresses made by Zinus LLC. Zinus mattresses have covers with zippers.  When consumers remove the cover it releases fiberglass into their homes.

While this is the most well-known case, Cueto Law has gotten reports of mattresses from many different brands contaminating our client’s homes. 

Regardless of what mattress brand brought fiberglass into your home, the results are the same.

What Happens if Fiberglass Contaminates My Home?

If fiberglass contaminates your home, it can turn your world upside down. Many of our clients have had to move out of their houses and find temporary living quarters.

Fiberglass will settle everywhere. Many people report that it looks like a layer of glitter on all their belongings. Couches, beds, and chairs are no longer restful places. It can even get into your HVAC system and circulate through your air. Click here to learn more.

In addition to being expensive, this can be a great challenge for families emotionally, as having to leave your home suddenly can cause a lot of stress and frustration in your life. It is never a good time to lose your relaxing sanctuary.

As if having to find another place to stay wasn’t enough, there are many costs associated with fiberglass contamination. Families have had to throw out or replace all soft belongings.

If your mattress has contaminated your home, make sure to keep track of all associated expenses. These can include:

  • Medical bills

HVAC and Fiberglass

Do you enjoy being cool in the summer? Warm in the winter? Having proper ventilation? If that’s the case then your HVAC system is very important to you. Sadly, if your HVAC system becomes contaminated with fiberglass it might need to be replaced. 

There has been a recent trend in mattress manufacturing towards using fiberglass as a flame retardant. Fiberglass is small pieces of glass, which when released into the air, can look like little bits of glitter on everything you own.

Many consumers have been injured by what we at Cueto Law believe to be design flaws in these mattresses. The most well-known brand is Zinus, which our clients have complained contaminated their homes with fiberglass when they unzipped to wash it. 

However, we have also received complaints about many different mattress brands.

How does Fiberglass get in the HVAC?

Once it is released into someone’s home, the fiberglass becomes airborne and gets on all surfaces. It can wind up in your vents, getting pulled into your system.

This is highly problematic, as once the fiberglass is in your ventilation system, it can continue to circulate fiberglass into the air you and your family breathe. 

What Can I Do about it?

After their HVAC becomes contaminated, many of our clients have had to pay to have their HVACs cleaned or even replaced.

The cost of replacing the system averages $7,000 nationally, which is a burdensome expense. 

As if that wasn’t enough our clients have also experienced other bills associated with fiberglass including

  • Medical bills
  • Professional Cleaning
  • Replacing Soft Items 
    • Clothing
    • Bedding
    • Towels
    • Upholstered furniture 
    • Carpets and Rugs
    • Soft toys
    • And More
  • Temporary Housing
  • Vet Bills
  • And More

Keep records of all your expenses, if fiberglass contaminated your home.

What about health concerns?

Fiberglass can cause many medical problems. If you have come in contact with fiberglass, contact your doctor right away. 

For humans, common consequences can include:

  • Rashes on skin
  • Eye irritation
  • Soreness of the nose and throat
  • Stomach irritation
  • Bronchitis and Asthma from long term exposure

Make sure to also contact a professional to guarantee your HVAC system does not contain fiberglass, to reduce prolonged exposure.

At Cueto Law, we help clients, whose mattresses contaminated their homes. We want to help you too.

However, we also want to help you if a mattress from a different brand has injured you or your family. Please visit our website or call us at 618-277-1554 for a free consultation.

Fiberglass is a common component of many mattresses and acts as a needed fire retardant. However, Zinus LLC, a common bed-in-a-box mattress manufacturer, did not adequately warn their customers of the fiberglass inside their mattress and its problems with leaking and contamination. Additionally, we believe Zinus mattresses are defectively designed which resulted in fiberglass contamination. 

When consumers removed the zippable mattress cover to wash it, fiberglass was released into their homes. Sometimes fiberglass contamination occurred even if consumers did not remove the cover.
