The sofa contamination problem
Many of you may have bought a contaminated sofa causing problems
such as itching, rashes, lesions and other skin complaints.
A number of retailers, including Land of Leather and Argos, have sold sofas
treated with contaminated chemicals which cause consumers to suffer
skin irritations.
We can help you to recover compensation for the discomfort and inconvenience you
have suffered.
Complaints include varying degrees of:
- blistering
- sores
- lesions
- rashes
- breathing difficulties, and
- fatigue
The retailers in question have indicated that they have tried to contact all affected
customers, however, they may not have succeeded. On some occasions, Argos has told
customers experiencing skin problems that their sofa is not contaminated.
What you can do:
- Visit your doctor to get your symptoms checked out. Your doctor
can tell you what steps you can take to alleviate your condition
- Get rid of the sofa. Some retailers have indicated that they will
replace contaminated sofas. Arrange for pick up of the sofa immediately and, if
they cannot exchange it there and then, get them to lend one to you
- Think about compensation for your symptoms. The level of compensation
will depend on the severity of your symptoms
- Take photographs of visible symptoms as this will help you to substantiate your
claim
You should give serious consideration to getting help from experienced solicitors
if you possess a contaminated sofa. We can make a claim for compensation
on your behalf and can properly advise you on
the appropriate level of compensation.
