Amazon recalls 100,000 mattresses over terrifying fire hazard... are you sleeping on one?
Crayan, a mattress brand sold exclusively through Amazon, is offering full refunds to customers after its 10- and 12-inch models were found to violate US mattres regulations.
Federal regulators require mattresses to pass flammability tests to help prevent fires from spreading rapidly while people are asleep — a risk that can turn deadly in seconds if a bed ignites.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) posted a recall bulletin for the mattress on June 18. No injuries have been reported from the product.
The recall affects all Twin, Full, Queen, and King size mattresses sold between July 2022 and June 2024 for $100 to $200.
The mattresses were made in Japan and sold by a China-based company through Amazon's platform.
Each has a quilted white top, gray cotton sides, and 'Crayan' stitched into the foot of the bed.
Officials warn owners to stop using the product immediately.
Consumers should write the word 'Recalled' on the mattress's white surface, snap a photo, send it to crayan_service@hotmail.com, and then dispose of the mattress permanently.
Crayan is contacting all known buyers and is required to provide full refunds to verified customers.
Under federal law, it is illegal to resell or donate recalled products.
Despite its safety failure, Crayan's website claims its mattresses are 'free from harmful substances, making them safe for you and your loved ones.'
'We prioritize your health and safety above all.'
All of the products on the company's Amazon webpage are listed as 'currently unavailable.'
The mattresses received mixed reviews from verified Amazon shoppers, with multiple buyers complaining about new products carrying a weird smell.
'It's comfortable, good sleeping comfort, but it still smells strong after 3 days,' one mattress topper buyer said in their three-star rating.
Amazon's top boss, Andy Jassy, became CEO in July 2021 after running the company's tech-focused AWS network
'I hope they didn't use harmful preservatives like formaldehyde. Would like to know more about it.'
Amazon didn't immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
Amazon products recalled
The e-commerce giant has recently warned customers that dozens of products sold on its site have been recalled.
In early June, the company posted about three sink faucets that tested positive for lead.
Another 1.1 million phone chargers were recalled for a fire and explosion risk.
In March, over 90,000 battery pack phone cases were recalled for another burning risk.

Why are people smuggling ants into the US?
The smuggling of ants and other insects in the US is reportedly on the rise following recent cuts to the USDA. These cuts, implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency, led to layoffs and buyouts within the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, which regulates invertebrate smuggling. Industry sources suggest that these reductions have emboldened ant smugglers, while the process for legal ant sales has become more difficult, contributing to an increase in illicit trade. Invasive ant species, such as tawny crazy ants and Asian needle ants, pose significant environmental and public health risks, damaging ecosystems, homes, and causing severe stings. Experts express concern over the reduced infrastructure for detecting and preventing invasive species, although the USDA maintains that its enforcement capabilities have not diminished.

Treasury Secretary quashes hopes that Americans will get rebate checks from tariffs
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just gave Americans a reason to doubt whether they'll ever see the 'rebates' that some MAGAworld figures have called for as funds roll in from Trump's tariff plans. Bessent was on CNBC's 'Squawk Box' explaining that the projected total of $300 billion in tariff revenue (the administration's own figure) would be first applied to driving down America's national debt. 'We're going to bring down the deficit-to-GDP [ratio]. We'll start paying down the debt, and then at that point that can be used as an offset to the American people,' Bessent told CNBC Tuesday. He added that 'I think, at a point, we're going to be able to do it,' but stressed that for now, ' President [Donald] Trump and I are laser-focused on paying down the debt.' His comments come as new reports show that the U.S. has taken in $100 billion in tariff revenue since April, the onset of Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs. That figure is expected to rise at an accelerated rate for the remainder of the year after enforcement of Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs began in early August. Bessent's comments betray one uncomfortable fact for both the Trump administration and House Republicans, however. The deficit-to-GDP ratio remains higher than 6 percent after 2024 and is likely to rise in the coming months, not fall. Real GDP growth is expected to be negatively affected by the president's tariff agenda, while the Republican budget reconciliation package that extended the 2017 tax cuts and poured billions into ICE enforcement measures was not deficit-neutral and is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the federal budget deficit over the next decade. All of that is to say: the president may end up having to choose between offsetting his own policy platform's effects on the national debt or a politically expedient move to cut Americans a check. The president pursued that latter option once before, during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the help of Democrats in Congress; it didn't help his re-election prospects that year. Bessent and others in the Trump administration are hoping that tariff revenues will continue to rise, and the Trump team has generally dismissed fears from economists around the effects tariffs will have on economic growth. Those fears are a central part of the dispute between the president and his Federal Reserve chief, Jerome Powell. For months, Trump has heaped political pressure and scorn on Powell over the Fed chair's refusal to lower interest rates — something the president sees as the main impediment to GDP growth. Powell, meanwhile, has cited concerns about persistent inflation in his repeated decisions to hold rates steady. The feud stems from a larger dynamic playing out within the Trump administration: the president's persistent fury in response to federal officials, almost exclusively career officials with nonpartisan backgrounds, refusing to play along with the White House's rose-colored view of the U.S. economy under Trump, including the effects of inflation, unemployment and wage growth. Powell has taken abuse from the president for months, and earlier in August Trump went a step further and fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after a jobs report that generated unsatisfactory headlines. Trump accused the agency of juicing the numbers to help Democrats in the 2024 election. This week Trump escalated his feud with the Fed and called for the first Black member of the Fed's board of governors to resign. The president accused the woman, Lisa Cook, of mortgage fraud and demanded that the Justice Department investigate her after one of his political appointees at another agency made accusations that she 'falsified bank records.' Cook replied that the accusations were 'based on a mortgage application from four years ago, before I joined the Federal Reserve' and that she had 'no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet.' 'I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts,' she added.

'Mega comfy' Skechers trainers that 'feel like slippers' are now better than half price
Shoppers rush to buy a 'mega comfy' pair of Skechers trainers that are praised for 'feeling like slippers' as they plummet to under half price in this rare deal As we move into autumn, a pair of trainers will undoubtedly be a wardrobe staple. Whether paired with casual attire or something more formal, the perfect design can be worn repeatedly. Naturally, it's not solely about appearance, as they must also provide comfort. For precisely that reason, Skechers is an obvious choice, and we've spotted one "mega comfy" pair available for better than half price. The footwear brand's Flex Appeal 4.0 Brilliant View Sneakers are currently available for £28.50 on Amazon, reduced from the usual £64, delivering an impressive discount of 55% off the original retail price, reports the Daily Record. It's worth noting that the online giant's reduction applies only to the black with rose gold trim colourway, with sizes available from a two through to 10, including half-sizes. These athletic, lace-up trainers boast Skechers' renowned Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole that maintains foot cushioning, delivering immediate comfort, pressure relief and breathability. Constructed from lightweight mesh material, they also include a shock-absorbing midsole and flexible rubber traction outsole, making them ideal for dedicated fitness enthusiasts who frequent the gym or go jogging. Amazon isn't the sole destination to secure a reduction on new trainers, as Nike is running its own sale, with the sportswear giant's Air Zoom Upturn SC slashed from £89.99 to £53.99, a discount of 40%. If you're on the hunt for something a bit more budget-friendly but still sporty, Sainsbury's has got you covered. The supermarket is offering a variety of styles, including their Navy Knitted Slip-On Trainers, which are a steal at £18 a pair. The Flex Appeal Trainers from Skechers have proven to be a hit, racking up nearly 13,000 reviews on Amazon. Shoppers have lauded them as "so light" that they "don't know they are wearing them." One thrilled customer shared: "Mega comfy. First time wearing I walked for miles. Extremely comfortable, highly recommend." Another glowing review read: "These are great trainers, so light and comfortable, feels like you're wearing slippers!" A similarly satisfied shopper wrote: "Fantastic trainers feel like a pair of slippers don't Know you're wearing them. Lightweight and support your feet." However, the design might not be the best fit for those with pain-related issues needing extra support. As one three-star reviewer noted: "I have plantar fasciitis so will need to revert to the arch fit style. Look lovely though." In contrast, another pleased customer stated: "I will only wear Skechers trainers as they are the comfiest and longest wearing trainers. These trainers are great. "I had concerns over sizing as I have never purchased trainers through Amazon before. The fit is perfect and true to size. Comfy from first wear! Bought them for under £40, bargain!"
