URGENT RECALL: EVLWZL and Gunugu Mattresses

The Hazard

About 670 mattresses are affected. No injuries have been reported.

Technical Breakdown

The government requires all mattresses sold in the US to meet certain flammability standards to prevent fires. These mattresses from EVLWZL and Gunugu failed to meet those standards. This is a serious safety concern because a mattress that easily catches fire can quickly spread flames, especially while you’re sleeping.

The problem is that the materials used to make these mattresses can ignite more easily than allowed by law. This means that even a small spark from a cigarette, lighter, or electrical issue could cause the mattress to catch fire quickly and burn intensely. This presents a significant risk of burns, smoke inhalation, and property damage.

Affected Products

• EVLWZL and Gunugu mattresses that are 10 and 12 inches thick.
• These mattresses were sold in twin, full, queen, and king sizes.
• The mattresses have a black top and sides and were sold compressed in a box.
• Look for a white label sewn onto the mattress cover with the fiber content, size, and “WG/P Foundation”.
• EVLWZL is on a black sewn on label on the front side.

Sentinel Action Plan

1. STOP: Stop using the recalled mattress immediately. Don’t sleep on it or let anyone else sleep on it.
2. DOCUMENT: Find the label on your mattress that shows the brand (EVLWZL or Gunugu) and size. Take a picture of the label.
3. ACT: Contact EVLWZL at EVLWZLMattressrecall@outlook.com to request a free repair. They will send you a fitted cover to put over your mattress. This cover will make the mattress safe and compliant with fire safety standards.
