Health Canada is advising the Canadian public that futons under the "Masters Futon Mfg" label purchased at the retail location of Futons Heaven Sent in Edmonton, Alberta pose a possible flammability hazard. Futons that were manufactured and sold between November 3, 2007 and January 7, 2008 do not meet the minimum flammability requirements. Futons under that label manufactured and sold outside of those dates may also not meet the minimum flammability requirements.
Bedding- used to describe an entire ensemble including sheets, pillows, comforters and accessories.Coil configuration- the pattern of the spring arrangements in a mattress."We're finding that poor body posture in bed contributes to many sleep issues," says Tony Wolf, president of Wolf Corporation, a fourth generation locally-owned manufacturer of mattresses, futons and fiber products.Consumers, particularly those who smoke, who are in possession of the "Masters Futon Mfg" label futons, should discontinue using the product. Health Canada reminds all consumers not to smoke in bed, and to install and maintain at least one working smoke alarm on each level of the home, preferably outside of each bedroom.
