Parents expect their child’s crib mattress to be safe and free from harmful substances. However, some recent claims allege that some Saatva crib mattresses contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” which may pose significant health risks. Unfortunately, studies link long-term exposure to PFAS to serious health concerns, including hormonal imbalances, developmental issues, and certain cancers. If you purchased a Saatva crib mattress and suspect PFAS exposure may have harmed your child or family, you may have legal options including potentially pursuing a Saatva crib mattress PFAS lawsuit.
What Are PFAS?
PFAS are synthetic compounds often used in manufacturing due to their resistance to heat, water, and stains. These forever chemicals” are found in clothing, cookware, cosmetics, electronics, firefighting foam, packaging, and many other products.
According to The Pew Charitable Trusts, these chemicals are so prevalent they’re found in the blood of 97 percent of Americans. Sadly, studies have shown that high levels of PFAS can lead to an increased risk of cancer, among other frightening health issues.
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, a federal public health agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, research involving humans suggests that high levels of certain PFAS may lead to health concerns including but not limited to:
- Increased cholesterol levels
- Decreased vaccine response in children
- Changes in liver enzymes
- Increased risk of high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia in pregnant women
- Small decreases in infant birth weights
- Increased risk of kidney or testicular cancer
Saatva Crib Mattress PFAS Claims
Toxin Free USA and Beyond Pesticides filed a lawsuit against Saatva, Inc., alleging misleading marketing of its crib mattresses after lab testing of the crib mattresses detected eight toxic PFAS chemicals. If Saatva marketed its products as safe and eco-friendly while allegedly failing to disclose the presence of PFAS, the company may be held accountable through litigation.
Legal action in these claims may seek compensation for medical expenses, emotional distress, and other damages.
