Product Details
Product: Olee Sleep 13SM01Q
Incident Overview
The consumer reported discovering shiny, hair-thin fibers protruding from the seams and surface of their mattress. The mattress is an Olee Sleep 13-inch hybrid gel memory foam mattress, purchased in 2021. The fibers appear to be fiberglass escaping from the internal fire-retardant layer.
The mattress was in normal household use in a bedroom, used by adults and a child. The fibers are visibly coming out of the mattress and pose a health and contamination risk, including potential skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Upon discovery, the mattress was immediately stopped from use and isolated. No serious injuries have been confirmed, but there is concern for possible exposure due to fiberglass fibers escaping into the sleeping environment, especially with a child in the home.

What Consumers Should Do
If you own an Olee Sleep 13SM01Q or any Olee Sleep hybrid gel memory foam mattress, or any mattress with similar characteristics, and are concerned about fiberglass exposure, take the following steps:
- Immediate Steps:
- Immediately stop using the mattress if you observe any suspicious fibers.
- Avoid disturbing the mattress further, as this can release more fibers into the air.
- If possible, carefully wrap the mattress in heavy-duty plastic sheeting or mattress bags to contain any escaping fibers.
- Minimize air movement in the affected room and avoid using fans or vacuuming, which can spread fibers.
- If you suspect exposure, thoroughly wash any potentially contaminated skin with soap and cool water. Rinse eyes with plenty of water if irritation occurs. Seek medical attention if irritation persists or if respiratory symptoms develop.
- How to Check for Fibers: Carefully inspect the surface and seams of your mattress for shiny, hair-thin, often translucent fibers. Do this in a well-lit area without directly touching the mattress if possible, or wear gloves and a mask for protection.
- Prevention Measures: If you own a mattress with a fiberglass fire barrier, avoid removing the outer cover, even if it has a zipper. This cover is designed to contain the fiberglass layer. Consider using a separate, high-quality mattress encasement for added protection.
- Reporting Procedures: Report any incidents of fiberglass release from mattresses or other products to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.cpsc.gov. Also, consider reporting the issue directly to Grand Life Inc. and Amazon.
