On July 22, 2008, Sleep Innovations Inc. recalled about 120,000 Cuddly Comfort Pillows because a mechanical breakdown in the manufacturing process may cause the pillows to contain small metal fragments in the fiber-fill, which could pose a laceration hazard to consumers.

Recalled Cuddly Comfort Pillows were sold in packs of two, and each pillow is 20 inches wide by 26 inches long. They were sold in white, violet, blue, pink and yellow colors with the words “Sleep Innovations” printed on the tag. Only pillows with Registration Number PA-27156(CA) are included in the recall. Registration Numbers are found on the pillow’s tag.

Costco stores nationwide sold the recalled Sleep Innovations pillows from February 2008 through June 2008 for about $20. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled pillows and return them to any Costco store for a refund.

For more information, customers may contact Sleep Innovations at 866-656-0610, or visit the company’s website.
