The Consumer Products Safety Commission has issued a recall of mattresses from home furnishings retailer Ikea due to violation of federal mattress flammability standards.

The recall involves around 1,900 Ikea Sultan Heidal spring mattresses.

While no injuries have been reported related to the product, CPSC says the mattresses fail to meet the federal mandatory open flame standard for mattresses, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported.

The recall includes IKEA Sultan Heidal spring mattresses sold in sizes twin, full, queen and king. Mattresses included in this recall are date stamped 0725 through 1014 (YYWW). Sultan Heidal, supplier number and date stamp are located on a label attached to the mattress. Article and supplier numbers included in the recall are: twin, 701-095-77 20520; full, 301-109-69; queen, 501-109-73; and king, 901-109-71.

The Mexico-made mattress were sold exclusively in Ikea U.S. furniture stores from June 2007 through April 2010 for between $500 and $1,000.

Consumers should immediately stop using the mattresses and contact their local Ikea store for instructions on returning the mattress for a replacement of full refund. For additional information, contact Ikea toll-free at 888.966.4532; or visit Ikea's U.S. Web site.
