    Rogue traders selling memory foam mattress items

    It's feared a scam currently being conducted by rogue traders in the UK, could make its way to the Island.

    It concerns the sale of highly flammable 'memory foam' mattresses, mattress toppers and pillows.

    The goods appear to be heavily discounted, but the Office of Fair Trading say this doesn't disguise the fact they are potential death traps.

    You're urged to look out for people selling goods door to door, or advertising in local newspapers.

    Anybody caught executing such a scam could face 6 months in prison and a fine of £5,000.
