Safety Alerts for Human Medical Products > Medical Bed Mattresses: FDA Safety Communication - Damaged or Worn Covers Pose Risk of Contamination and Infection:

"Medical literature shows that damaged and wet (soiled) mattresses can be a source of contamination during infection outbreaks. The FDA is concerned that fluid ingress from worn or damaged medical bed mattress covers may be widespread and largely under-recognized by health care providers, health care facility staff, and caregivers. The FDA will continue to monitor this issue and keep the public informed if new information becomes available."
