To date, Toyota has informed the US Government that they are telling consumers to remove the floor mats from the driver aide and not to replace them. This is because the floor pedal may get stuck and jam the accelerator making the vehicle hard to control. They have also issued statement of warning on their official website.

Johnson’s car burst into flame burning the man beyond recognition. Experts later found that the hose accelerator was jammed by the Camry’s floor mat.
Toyota issued a statement of full disclosure, stating that the floor mats on the driver’s side must be removed from the 2007-2010 model year Toyota Camry, 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon, 2004-2009 Toyota Prius, 2005-2010 Tacoma, 2007-2010, Toyota Tundra, 2007-2010 Lexus ES350 and 2006-2010 Lexus IS250/IS350.
