Amazon recalls mattress due to 'serious injury' risk — how to identify affected models
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission warns customers that the Amazon Basics Premium Foam Eurotop Mattress poses a "risk of serious injury or death" and notes that consumers should stop using the mattress immediately.
Approximately 2,700 mattresses are affected by the recall. Impacted customers are advised to dispose of their mattress safely and contact Amazon for a refund.
Sold as part of Amazon Basics' mattress range, the Premium Foam Eurotop Mattress was manufactured from December 22nd 2022 to May 16th 2024 at the 3Z Brands factory and sold via Amazon. The mattress was priced between $82 and $278.
The recall covers twin, full, queen and king size mattresses. The Amazon Basics bed was initially sold compressed, rolled and packaged as a bed in a box. Out of its packaging, the mattress expands to roughly nine inches tall.
The brand is contacting known purchasers directly but if you suspect your mattress is included in the recall, here are the features to look for:
In addition, look for SKU number ABFM0933, ABFM0946, ABFM0950 or ABFM0966; and prototype ID: 1131 40 00 1. These appear on the white label located in the center seam of the quilted panel at the foot of the bed.

Due to the fire safety risk, impacted mattresses aren't safe for use and should be disposed of immediately.
If your mattress is included in the recall, Amazon asks that you:
If you're unsure if your mattress is included in the recall or you'd like more information about the disposal and refund process, you can contact Amazon toll-free at 800-913-4350 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday to Friday.
Alternatively, you can contact Amazon online via http://amazoneurotoprecall.expertinquiry.com/ or find more information at www.amazon.com. Follow the link to 'Recalls and Product Safety Alerts' at the bottom of the page.
We typically recommend donating or recycling an old mattress but as these models have been recalled, the only option is disposal. Contact your local waste disposal service for more information on how to safely get rid of your mattress.
Mattress recalls are rare and so far no injuries have been reported in relation to the current warning.
However, before buying a new mattress we recommend familiarizing yourself with the brand, particularly if you're opting for a budget bed with minimal reviews.

Amazon Stock To $100?
Despite considerable growth in both revenue and profits, Amazon's stock (NASDAQ: AMZN) performance has raised concerns among investors due to a mix of slowing growth in its vital cloud division, fierce competition in artificial intelligence (AI), a high valuation, and overarching economic pressures. Over the past four years, Amazon has increased its revenue by $200 billion and $37 billion in net profit, with profits rising by 112% thanks to improving margins. However, during the same timeframe, its stock has only seen a 33% increase, and its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has dropped by 34%. In 2021, Amazon's valuation multiple stood at 51 times earnings, signaling high expectations for future growth. Now, with a reduced multiple of 34x trailing earnings, investors are questioning whether this valuation remains justified, particularly as growth expectations are being moderated. Now, we also have a contrasting scenario on Amazon Stock: Path To 2x Growth. Indeed, we believe that this wide range of upside and downside possibilities underscores a fundamental reality: AMZN is a volatile stock. That being said, if you are looking for upside with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative — it has outperformed the S&P 500 and generated returns exceeding 91% since its launch. Additionally, see – The Trade Desk: Buy TTD Stock Now At $60? Core Challenges and Investor Concerns A variety of factors contribute to investor anxiety, presenting potential obstacles for Amazon's stock. AWS has traditionally been Amazon's main source of profit, with estimated adjusted EBITDA margins around 45%, compared to 15% for its North American operations and 11% for its international businesses. Any slowdown in this segment greatly influences the company's overall profitability and investor confidence. While Amazon's Q2 AWS growth of 18% topped analyst projections, it lagged behind the growth rates of its primary rivals, Microsoft Azure (39%) and Google Cloud (32%). This gap is a significant reason for the stock's recent slump, as investors fear that AWS is losing its competitive edge in the key cloud market. Even a notable partnership with OpenAI has not fully alleviated these worries. The surge in AI has heightened demand for cloud services, yet some view Amazon as falling behind its competitors. Rivals like Microsoft and Google offer highly integrated AI solutions (like GPT and Gemini, respectively), which are often simpler for customers to adopt. Conversely, AWS's approach frequently necessitates greater technical expertise from developers to combine various services. Wider economic factors present additional threats for Amazon: Historical Performance During Downturns Amazon's stock has shown volatility during previous market downturns, sometimes performing worse than the S&P 500 index. The substantial 55% drawdown in 2022 indicates that a significant drop from current levels is not unusual. This history of volatility, combined with a high stock price, leads to cautious investor sentiment. See – Buy or Sell AMZN Stock – for more details. The Verdict To summarize, it also does not aid that AMZN stock remains expensive; it trades at nearly 34x trailing earnings. Certainly, the company's revenue has increased significantly over recent years, growing at an average rate of about 11% over the last three years (compared to 5% for the S&P 500). However, this growth might diminish rapidly if the economy worsens and if the company fails to adequately seize its share of the AI cloud market. At existing multiples, even slight disappointments could prompt a disproportionate correction in the stock, as demonstrated by its performance following its positive Q2 results. The high valuation of AMZN stock could restrict its upside potential in the near to medium term. Alternatively, the Trefis Reinforced Value (RV) Portfolio has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (a combination of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 benchmark indices), delivering strong returns for investors. Why is this the case? The quarterly rebalanced combination of large-, mid-, and small-cap RV Portfolio stocks has provided a responsive means to capitalize on favorable market conditions while limiting losses during downturns, as detailed in RV Portfolio performance metrics.
