Avocado Mattress is one of America's best-loved mattress brands. Their latex products are listed as 'natural', 'organic', and 'free from synthetic and non-toxic materials'. Last April, Avocado faced a lawsuit that questioned the legitimacy of these claims.
Following lab testing, plaintiffs Akeem Pina and Richard Roberts filed a class action lawsuit, claiming that Avocado mattresses contained synthetic, toxic chemicals at 'virtually every stage of the latex manufacturing process'. If true, this would make Avocado Mattress guilty of 'knowingly misrepresenting their products' in violation of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act.
