This was a legit story on TV, unfortunately I can't remember which network.  It was a real nightmare, the abatement company had to make several trips.

I have a Sleep Number bed.  I just had one side of it replaced (air was leaking).

 

I know what's in my mattress...air and rubber.

I just checked, using key words from this discussion. I was able to find plenty of news articles about this. I'd link here but they embedded videos and ads. Just a google maresses with fiberglass. The most recent story is from a Texas. The mother was cleaning daughter's room. There was no do not remove tag visible to her. She found out when there was fiberglass itching her daughter after the washing. Then she called abatement co.fire for clean up three times because the fiberglass was all over everything in the room. They still had to throw out half the daughter's clothes. Then the mother found the manual for the mattress online. That's where it said not to remove the cover.

@ Mindy D
Thank you for your research. The local example indicated fiberglass in air conditioning, all carpet, etc in addition to health concerns.
