The product, in the report: Bed Bath and Beyond Mircodry Ultimate Luxury Memory Foam Bath Mat
I write to report an unreasonably dangerous bath mat product sold by Bed Bath and Beyond, the “Microdry Ultimate Luxury Memory Foam Bath Mat.” If the bottom of the mat gets any moisture on it, such as can easily happen from the tub, shower, condensation, steam in the bathroom from the shower, etc., it slides out under the users feet causing a very dangerous slip and fall situation. The bottom of the mat is a rubber like material, but if it gets even a little bit moist, it will slip, like being on ice. In the product reviews section for this mat on the company’s website, countless consumers have reported the exact same thing. Now, the description of the product on the Bed Bath and Beyond Website contains a sentence telling the buyer to place on a dry surface, but this is not reasonable because it is certainly reasonably foreseeable that a mat, even if placed on a dry floor in a bathroom initially, will end up getting some moisture under it -- one stands on it dripping wet as part of its normal use! To me, this shows that they know of a problem and are trying to take the easy way out rather than fix the situation. I personally fell, straining my neck, back, and nearly injuring my knee, before going online and learning this. I have since removed the mats, but I am sure there are many out there in homes that pose a very serious safety threat. If an elderly person were to fall in a bathroom he or she could early suffer very serious injuries because of this dangerous mat. Thank you for your attention to this problem.
