If you sleep on a mattress pad, you may want to check where you’re putting your head tonight.
Avocado Green Mattress is recalling 55,480 of its organic cotton mattress pad protectors over a fire hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall report issued on Thursday..
“The recalled mattress pads violate the mandatory federal flammability regulation for mattress pads, posing a fire hazard," the safety commission says.
Avocado Green Mattress said in a recall report that there haven't been any injuries reported but "out of an abundance of caution, please stop using your Avocado Cotton Mattress Pad Protector."
Here is what you need to know about the Avocado Green Mattress recall.

Which sizes are affected in the Avocado Green Mattress pad recall?
The following sizes were sold in a Standard Pocket and Deep Pocket version and are in the recall:
- Twin
- Twin XL
- Full
- Queen
- King
- California King
What should I do if I have the affected product?
The commission said that people who have the mattress pad should stop using it immediately.
Avocado Green Mattress will be sending its customers a free replacement mattress pad, with free shipping delivery to their home, the company said.
To obtain the replacement, customers should cut the mattress pad in two and write the date and initial the law label attached to the mattress pad. A law label, or “Do Not Remove” label, is typically found on bedding, furniture and other products that describes what materials the item is made out of, the American Law Label explains.
After doing that customers should take a photo of the mattress pad and upload to www.avocadogreenmattress.com/pages/recall.
