What should I do if I have the affected product?  

The commission said that people who have the mattress pad should stop using it immediately.  

Avocado Green Mattress will be sending its customers a free replacement mattress pad, with free shipping delivery to their home, the company said.  

To obtain the replacement, customers should cut the mattress pad in two and write the date and initial the law label attached to the mattress pad.
