Amazon recalls 100,000 mattresses over terrifying fire hazard... are you sleeping on one?
Around 100,000 Americans are sleeping on mattresses that fail to meet federal flammability standards.
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.

Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 solar generator drops to lowest ever price on Amazon
Jackery's Explorer 1000 V2 has never been cheaper | Amazon This article contains affiliate links.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... More people than ever are investing in portable power solutions these days, as we set ourselves up for some time in the great outdoors, and some off-grid energy. Jackery has always been one of the market leaders in off-grid tech, and its solar generators are as ubiquitous as they are distinctive. Its latest mid-range offering, the Explorer 1000 V2 usually costs £899, but there's a deal on Amazon right now knocking 44% off the price, bringing it down to £498.99 - and that's the lowest we've ever seen it. It gets better than that, too, because if you wanted the solar generator bundle, you could buy it with a SolarSaga 100w panel with the same discount for just £649 - again, the lowest price yet. Bundle it with solar panels and you could be off-grid for weeks | Jackery Upgrade to a 200w bundle and the saving is less significant, only a 26% discount this time, and a price of £849. A new design for its distinctive exterior is just the start of the upgrades on the second version of Jackery's 1000 series, because the technology that lies within is quite remarkable. It now has a 1,500w output from a 1,070Wh battery, and it can fast charge in as little as one hour. It's also 18% smaller than its predecessor, and an arguably more practical shape, thanks to its fold-away rubber handle. Jackery's bigger units are ideal for home backup | Jackery This is largely achieved through the addition of a new battery technology, lithium iron phosphate, or LiFePO4, which is more durable, more reliable and a lot safer. It's the stuff they use in electric cars nowadays, so it's certainly built to last. This is a powerhouse that can boil a kettle, charge an e-bike, or run everything in a camper van for a few days - and that's before you top it up with solar. Connect it to a panel, hope for some sunshine, and you'll have all you need to spend a few weeks in the great outdoors, keeping phones, laptops, tablets, drones, and all your other tech topped up.

Philips 6.2L air fryer with window down to £51 in Amazon sale
The Philips 2000 Series now comes with a viewing window - and it's an absolute bargain at the moment | Amazon This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. Philips' new 2000 Series air fryer with a clear viewing window, 13 cooking functions and a 6.2L capacity is nearly half price right now on Amazon.

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... This Philips air fryer has all the features an air-frying aficionado would want - and it's almost half price at the moment. It's the new 2000 Series, and it normally costs £99.99, but thanks to a limited-time deal on Amazon, we've found it for just £51.79 - that's a 48% discount. This discount is quite specific to the 6.2-litre version, and it's arguably the pick of the 2000 series, because it has the RapidAir technology, 13 functions, a touch-screen display, and the relatively new innovation of a cooking window. The 6.2-litre drawer can hold a whole chicken | Amazon Philips also offers a larger dual basket air fryer in its 1000 series, with a 7.1-litre capacity and a flexible drawer which can be split into two, or used as one large container. That model is on the same page as the 2000 Series, with a 25% discount, bringing the price down to £119.99. The smallest of the 2000 Series, a 4.1-litre version, is also offered on the page with a 38% discount, bringing the price down to £49.99 - but the most attractive option is clearly the 6.1-litre air fryer, because it only costs a few quid more and you get a viewing window along with the extra capacity. There's also a dual drawer version discounted on Amazon - but not by as much | Amazon For a large-capacity air fryer capable of fitting in enough food to feed a family, the Philips 2000 Series is pretty compact, and its digital display and capacitive buttons make controlling it very easy. Clear windows are a very useful thing to have on an air fryer too, especially for those of us who ignore the presets and cook by eye. Although there are plenty of automatic options for people who prefer to take the guesswork out of cooking, and let the machine do the job, and they can all be used across the 13 functions. We don't know how long Philips will be running this promotion, or how long stocks will last, so if you fancy a brilliant deal on a top-spec air fryer, grab one while you can.

THG returns to sales growth as Myprotein bulks up shelves in global stores
Cult Beauty and Myprotein operator THG has said sales returned to growth in recent months as it brought its products to a growing number of stores around the world. Shares in the Manchester-based firm leapt higher after it said its nutrition business was growing at the fastest rate in more than three years. It told investors that revenue growth for the division – which also includes Myprotein's clothing arm, and Myvitamins – was expected to be between 5% and 7% for the second quarter. Myprotein products are now available in more than 34,000 stores, primarily in the UK, US and Japan, and it is expecting this to grow to 40,000 around the world by the end of the year. This has been boosted by expansion in the US with new listings in retail giant Walmart, pharmacy chain CVS, and expansion into additional GNC nutrition stores. It also said new listings had been secured at chains including thousands of 7-Eleven stores in Taiwan and Singapore, and in Dutch health and wellness gain Kruidvat. The company is anticipating in-store sales from the brand to be around £170 million for the full year. This is despite ongoing inflation across milk and whey prices – key ingredients for protein shakes and powder – but THG said there had been some recent signs of that starting to ease. Meanwhile, THG said sales across its beauty division were expected to decline by about 2% to 3% over the second quarter. This would nonetheless mark an improvement after sales dropped by a 10th in the first quarter. The beauty arm, which includes online retailers Cult Beauty and Lookfantastic, enjoyed growth in the UK but this was offset by the decision to withdraw from some less profitable locations in Asia and Europe. Shares in THG were soaring by more than 15% on Wednesday morning.
