So... did someone actually try to swallow a bed mattress, which led to that warning? Did the company that manufactured the mattress get sued because they didn't put a warning not to attempt to swallow it?

On cans of Fix-A-Flat: "WARNING: Not to be used for breast augmentation."

On a box of fishhooks: "CAUTION: Harmful if swallowed."

On a baby stroller (pram): "CAUTION: Remove child before folding."

I read about someone who would eat the foam out of mattresses and it turned out she was anemic and when her iron levels were stabilized, she got over her cravings for foam.

Never thought of mattress foam as being a replacement for iron. Not a good replacement, obviously.

Seems like a useful warning, do you know how many people die from accidentally swallowing matresses?
