We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The recalled mattresses, manufactured in Colombia and imported by Agro Superior Group LLC of Princeton, New Jersey, were sold online through Amazon by “Aylas Furniture Store” and Walmart by “OLIVER & SMITH SINCE 1921” between January and July 2024. The affected products are 6-inch hybrid mattresses available in several sizes including Twin, Queen, and King. Design features include a white woven top with a diamond pattern, white sides, and black bottoms. Labels along the side seams display brand and manufacturing information.
To remedy the issue, the company is offering a free fitted cover that will bring the mattresses into compliance with safety standards. Consumers should stop using the mattresses and contact Agro Superior Group for the free corrective cover. The company has begun directly notifying known buyers of the recall. So far, there have been no reported injuries or incidents.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
This recall applies to approximately 16,530 units. Consumers can contact Agro Superior Group toll-free at 800-453-5856 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or by email at agrorecall@gmail.com. While no injuries have occurred yet, continued use of the affected mattresses could pose serious safety risks if not addressed.
