About 48,000 mattresses sold at Costco are under recall after over 500 consumers reported mold growing on them, the Consumer Safety Product Commission said on Thursday.
The mattresses, sold only at Costco stores and on Costco.com, were made by FXI and sold under the Novaform brand name between January and June of this year.
According to the CSPC, the mattresses were sold at Costco stores in the San Francisco Bay region and the Northwest, as well as online on the retailer’s website, with prices ranging from $150 to $750.
CPSC officials said the recall only applies to the “Novaform ComfortGrande 14-inch” and “Novaform DreamAway 8-inch” mattresses.
According to the CPSC, foam inside the mattress could have been exposed to water during manufacturing, allowing mold to develop — a potential health risk to people who are allergic to mold or who have compromised immune systems or damaged lungs.
